Does your four-legged companion have a weight problem?
According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP), there's a 50-50 chance your pet is among the 33 million dogs and 51 million cats that are overweight or obese.
That's right - half the dogs and cats in the U.S. are too heavy to be healthy.
This statistic goes hand-in-hand with the meteoric rise in human obesity. Obesity rates in the U.S. are among the highest in the world. Sixty-four percent of adults and 25 percent of children in America are overweight or obese.
