How can my cat lose weight? Any weight loss tips?

Putting your cat on a diet that has the proper nutritional balance, as well as knowing your pet’s caloric needs are key. Your veterinarian staff are well trained to be able to assist your pet in weight loss safely. Exercise is also just as important in weight loss. Try putting some of your cat’s meal in a treat ball and make them work for it.
