Hill's makes this handy wheel that can be used to show owners what being overweight really means for our pets. People think pudgy animals are cute, not realizing that a few pounds for them is much more than it seems. Here is a quick snapshot of the reference tool. You may be shocked to realize how much being 1 pound overweight for your friend may really mean! (Remember that our pets can get diabetes too, and it's expensive and time consuming to treat.)
TOY BREEDS(4 pounds) :
1 pound overweight in your pet = 31 pounds overweight in a person
2 pounds = 63 pounds
3 pounds = 94 pounds
SMALL BREEDS (19 pounds):
2 pounds = 13 pounds
4 pounds = 26 pounds
6 pounds = 40 pounds
MEDIUM BREEDS (35 pounds):
4 pounds = 17 pounds
6 pounds = 25 pounds
8 pounds = 33 pounds
LARGE BREEDS (70 pounds)
6 pounds = 11 pounds
8 pounds = 14 pounds
10 pounds = 18 pounds
Giant breeds, averaging 130 pounds, have an equal comparison to us. So ten pound in them is like ten in us too!
