It turns out that you pet might have gained weight like we all did during the pandemic!

According to CNN, veterinarians across the US are noticing weight gain and higher levels of obesity in pets since the pandemic began and it’s mainly because of more snacking at home and less walking outside.

So pretty much it’s the same reason why we all gained a few pounds since quarantine began.

Stress has also played a factor in your pet potentially gaining a few pounds because they are highly empathetic and when they see us stressed, they also get stressed.

To check if your pet is overweight, you can look at the animal’s side profile to check for a lower hanging stomach or you can also consult with your veterinarian for a healthy pet weight based on your pet’s breed.
