? Second, how to lose weight for cats?
1, Eat less and eat more: If you want to lose weight for cats, you have to adjust the diet structure of cats and follow the principle of "eat less and eat more". It is forbidden for cats to suddenly overeat.
2. Reduce the amount of cat food appropriately: If the cat is obese, reduce the amount of cat food, and if necessary, reduce the number of times to feed the cat. If the cat doesn't eat when it is fed, take the food away.
3. Reduce the feeding of meat complementary food: Under normal circumstances, if cats are fed with canned cats and nutritious meat as complementary food, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of feeding meat complementary food and quit it if necessary. Then feed some healthy fruits and vegetables with low fat to balance the cat's nutrition.
4. Increase the amount of exercise: If you want to lose weight for your cat, you must increase the amount of exercise for your cat. For example, I usually play with cats for about 15 minutes every day, or I insist on playing with cats for about half an hour every day to achieve the purpose of consuming excess fat in cats.
5. Choose diet cat food: At present, there is diet cat food on the market specifically for the problem of cat obesity. Owners can choose reliable diet cat food for sick cats. Because this cat food has high fiber content, it can increase the cat's satiety and absorb less energy. In addition, it also includes some canned wet food, such as chicken or fish wet food. Wet food can also enhance their satiety.
If the cat is simply obese, we can control the cat's weight through the above methods. However, if the cat has adverse reactions and behaviors due to obesity, we need to take the cat to a pet hospital or consult an online pet doctor.
