When your pet needs a weight-loss planAnimal Planet Dog trainer and obesity-fighter Travis Brorsen with Gracie, one of the dogs he works with on My Big Fat Pet Makeover. If you can feel that the ribs are there but can't see them protruding, then your pet is a healthy weight. Owners in those three categories are, sadly, unlikely to seek help in getting their pet healthy, says Brorsen. In one episode he meets a cat that is twice its healthy weight and eats four times the amount of food it needs. Once you've done all that, he cautions, don't expect, or seek, to have your overweight pet lose weight dramatically.
