Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the best ways to help your pet live a long and happy life, yet a staggering 56% of dogs and 60% of cats in the U.S. are overweight or obese. As it turns out, 9 out of 10 owners of overweight pets mistakenly identify their pets’ weight as normal.
In this webinar, Dr. Joseph Wakshlag, Professor of Clinical Nutrition at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine, discusses strategies for helping your pet lose weight while dealing with challenges you might face along the way.
"Weight Management: Overcoming Obstacles in the Battle Against Obesity" was hosted by The Usdan Institute for Animal Health Education at the Animal Medical Center.
