Weight loss outcomes are generally worse for dogs and cats with class II obesity, defined as >40% overweight

2023-08-21

Abstract excerpt

In pet dogs and cats, adiposity is usually estimated clinically using a 9-point body condition score (BCS), with BCS 9 equating to 40% overweight. Animals that are > 40% overweight are not depicted, but it is unclear both how prevalent they are and whether being > 40% overweight affects weight loss outcomes. Records of dogs and cats attending a specialist obesity care clinic, where adiposity is instead determined...
