RODENTIs Your Furry Friend Looking a Bit Too Fluffy?
Table of Contents
When it comes to your pet’s weight, small changes can lead to big improvements, from better health to increased energy levels. Want to make sure your furry friend is on the right track? Avoid these common mistakes to keep your pet healthy and happy.
Measuring Portions Incorrectly
Portion control is key when it comes to managing your pet’s weight. Overfeeding, even slightly, can lead to excess weight gain over time. Always measure your pet’s meals carefully based on their size, age, and activity level. If you’re unsure, consult with your vet or with one of our staff for the right amount.
Skipping Regular Exercise
Exercise is just as important for pets as it is for humans. Regular physical activity helps burn calories and keeps their muscles strong. Make sure your pet gets daily exercise, whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or interactive toys to keep them active and engaged.
Choosing Unhealthy Treats
Not all treats are created equal. High-calorie or sugary treats can quickly add unnecessary pounds to your pet. We recommend switching to healthy, low-calorie treats to reward your pet without affecting their waistline. Shop our range of healthy pet treats [here].

Feeding Free-Choice
Free-choice feeding, or leaving food out all day, can lead to overeating. Stick to scheduled meal times instead to control calorie intake and prevent unnecessary snacking throughout the day.
Missing Early Signs of Weight Gain
Pets can gain weight slowly, making it difficult to spot changes right away. Keep an eye on your pet’s body condition—if they look a bit fluffier than usual, it’s time to reassess their diet and activity levels. Regular vet visits can also help monitor their weight.
