73% of pet owners don't know how to check their pets' weight, leading pet food and wellbeing company Bella & Duke to call on pet owners to weigh their pets to avoid an obesity crisis. The PDSA reports that up to 65% of the UK's pet dogs are overweight or obese. Overweight and obese dogs face health risks including arthritis, heart and breathing problems, diabetes, and some cancers, leading to shorter lifespans and reduced quality of life. Bella & Duke advises pet owners to weigh their pets using pet scales at a local vet or gently feeling for their dog's ribs, and to prioritize a nutritious diet for their pets.
