It is a common phenomenon that cats get fat because of little activity and improper feeding by their owners. To lose weight for cats, we must first judge whether cats are fat or not. Of course, the weight of each breed of cat may vary. The owner can judge according to his size. The following three methods can help cats lose weight healthily.
1. Diet plan
Losing weight can be achieved by reducing the thermal energy content of food in a controlled way. Therefore, you can use low-calorie pet food on the market, or reduce the original consumption. Try a few more times before you finalize your diet plan. The selected diet plan should be implemented for at least two weeks, and then further reduce food according to the effect. In the stage of losing weight, pets will definitely feel hungry. No matter how pathetic its begging expression is, don't give in! Explain this principle to your friends and neighbors, or your efforts will be in vain.
Weight loss diet
Sometimes, reducing the feeding amount can achieve the effect of losing weight, but this may lead to the relative shortage of some nutrients, making cats often hungry. These problems can be solved by using low-energy cat food. The special formula of these foods can satisfy the hunger of cats, limit the calorie content and ensure the adequate intake of other basic nutrients.
To prevent rebound
Once the cat reaches the target weight, the veterinarian will tell you how to maintain the ideal weight. At the same time, we should continue to pay attention to the weight of pets. Don't go back to the habit of overeating, but adjust your diet according to your activity. Don't indulge in satisfying the cat's begging, adding meals or snacks between meals, as long as there are enough calories for dinner.
