Obesity in pets occurs when excessive adipose tissue accumulates in the body,[1] and is generally defined as occurring when an animal's body weight is at least 20% greater than its optimal body weight.[2] Obesity is associated with metabolic and hormonal changes, and can predispose pets to illnesses like orthopedic disease, diabetes, and cancer.[1][3][4]
