Pet dogs must at least 30 minutes of exercise each day

Pets should take on at least 30 minutes of activity each day and large canines need more, explained veterinary surgeon Eric Jackson, speaking to the Telegraph. Overweight animals can suffer from illnesses connecting to obesity such as diabetes mellitus, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and skin diseases, according to the RSPCA.


Indeed, many owners are simply feeding their furry friends too much food and Morrison's has announced it will put section control advice on their packaging, the newspaper continued. John Cannan, the supermarket's product development manager for animal feed, said: "We've had feedback from our customers which says that they are often in the dark about how much food they should be buying and giving their pet."And the publication concluded that research has shown 29 per cent of cats and 36 per cent of dogs that have been treated by vets were classed as fat recently.
