Cat Weight Loss: Gracie Is 1.5lbs Lighter and Friskier {Video Proof + Giveaway} #PerfectWeight #ad savingmorethanme.com

 

Back in February I let it all hang out. I exposed just how lax my husband and I had been at keeping Gracie’s weight under control. Her health and wellness were suffering because we were overfeeding her and as a result, she turned into an obese cat. Thankfully,  Gracie was invited to participate in the Hill’s® Science Diet® Perfect Weight 10 week turnaround.

It wasn’t just the scale that told us Gracie was overweight—->it was her physical profile too. Using Hill’s Pet Weight Scoring Tool, it was easy to see that Gracie had all the hallmark signs of obesity:

  • ribs not visible and difficult to feel through fat
  • prominent sagging abdominal fat
  • unable to groom tail area
  • laziness

Transitioning Gracie into a new food {Hill’s Science Diet Perfect Weight cat food} was easy. She immediately liked the taste of the food and she definitely got fuller– faster.  The gentle prebiotic fibers helped her digestion while the 100% precisely balanced nutrition supplied her body with the vitamins and minerals her body needs.

When Gracie hit a weight loss plateau, I went online and read through the Weight Management Center tips and tricks. I also relied on Hill’s 10 Week Turnaround Calendar. The calendar reminded me that setbacks will happen and that I should celebrate the successes {no matter how small}. <—LOVE this! By March, Gracie lost .5 lbs making her one step closer to her #PerfectWeight! Yay!

A .5 lb weight loss in a cat is equivalent to approximately 15 lbs in a human.

As you all know, the struggle to lose weight is real:

 

 

At the end of March, one of Gracie’s humans went out-of-town and this threw Gracie’s feeding schedule out the window.  The change to feeding her once a day {versus the normal twice a day}, slowed down her weight loss. It was proof enough for me that consistency really is key in cat weight loss. Despite that setback, Gracie managed to lose another .5 lbs bringing her weight down to 16 lbs!

Go Gracie go!

If you’re about to embark on a weight loss journey with your pet and Hill’s Science Diet Perfect Weight pet food, keep these tips in mind:

  1. Refer to the chart on the pet food bag to determine how much you should feed your pet for optimal weight loss to occur.
  2. Use a measuring cup to feed precise amounts.
  3. Split the portion into two separate feedings.
  4. Engage in at least 15 minutes of play with your pet daily.
  5. Use the Hill’s 10 Week Turnaround Calendar for guidance {linked above}.
  6. Take plenty of before, during, and after pictures.
  7. Provide your pet with plenty of fresh water.
  8. Rest assured that your pet’s nutritional needs are being met.
  9. Talk with your pet’s veterinarian if you have any concerns.
  10. Don’t get discouraged by weight loss plateaus. They are not setbacks…just resting periods.
