The problem with obesity in pets is multifaceted for sure . Owners are definitely at fault but there is something else going on under the radar screen that should be noted. Start reading the ingredients on the bags of dry food for your cat and/or dog . They have filled this food with fruits and grains and minimized the protein.I see their commercials spouting this gibberish about that is what cats crave . Cats are CARNIVORES ,not OMNIVORES. To be healthy , feed them meat . That IS what they crave .With the new fruit and grain diet for cats , the diabetes levels in cats is also rising . Now dogs , on the other hand , I would label opportunistic carnivores . They will eat many things they shouldn't but even for them meat should dominate their diet. Carbs make for fat pets and rich vets .

Fry some bacon, crisp, crumble and mix with canned tuna, add a scrambled egg once a week. Give it 3-4 times a week for a month. This is added food to regular diet. Weight should start coming up. An old cat needs more oiley stuff and higher fat than an active cat.
