PortionMate for Cats

Overweight and obesity are medical conditions, therefore weight loss in cats should be managed by a veterinarian. Most often weight gain is caused by eating more calories per day than are required to maintain a healthy weight, but in some cases weight gain may be caused by other medical conditions.

The cat owner should consult with their veterinarian for advice regarding any weight loss plan for their cat. Weight loss plans for cats must be managed by a veterinarian, since rapid weight loss in a cat may result in serious liver damage, which can lead to dehydration, loss of appetite, and malnutrition.
