Managing Your Cat's Weight

Is your kitty overweight?  Is he just plain fat?  If he is, he could be facing serious health issues.  A fat cat has a much greater chance of developing feline diabetes, heart disease, pancreatitis, arthritis, and a host of other diseases.

The next time you pet your furry friend, try to feel his ribs.  You should be able to feel them easily.  They may have a thin layer of fat over them, which is just fine.  But if you can't feel his ribs, he's probably too heavy for his own good.

Use the Feline Body Condition Guide to easily assess your cat's weight.


What Can You Do When Your Kitty Is Too Heavy?


The first thing you need to do is to stop leaving food out.  Start feeding your furry friend twice a day to establish a routine of set mealtimes.  Feed the amount of food he needs for his target weight, not for what he actually weighs.  If you're feeding dry food, you may want to change him over gradually to a high-quality canned food.  Many cats actually lose weight when they're fed canned food.

Exercise is important, too.  If your buddy lives inside, find toys that make him more active.  We used to play with our kitty with a retracting tape measure.  She loved chasing it as it rolled itself back up.  We had another cat who loved to play with my daughter's Nerf ball.   It was fun, but we had to quit, because my kitty would bite chunks out of it!  So be careful what toys you choose.  

A poor diet and lack of exercise can lead to your cat developing a sluggish metabolism, which means he'll gain weight more easily.   If his thyroid is underactive, this can lead to excessive weight gain, too.  Plus his liver may not able to remove toxins or eliminate unwanted fat from his body.

Can Natural Remedies Help?

SlenderPet, from PetAlive, is specially formulated to help your pet lose weight naturally, by improving his liver functioning, his metabolism, his thyroid health, and his body's ability to eliminate fat.

SlenderPet is a blend of the following natural ingredients:
* Fucus vesiculosis is a sea vegetable, which is a concentrated source of minerals, including iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. Iodine is used in the production of thyroid hormones, which are necessary for maintaining healthy metabolism in all cells of the body.  
* Curcuma longa has a beneficial effect on the liver, stimulating the flow of bile, which is responsible for the breakdown of dietary fat.
* Sylibum marianus (Milk Thistle) is a powerful anti-oxidant that improves liver functioning.  Since the liver is one of the most important organs in the body, Milk Thistle has a direct impact on overall systemic health.
* Taraxacum officinalis (Dandelion) is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals that enhances liver and gall bladder functioning.

SlenderPet helps to:
* Maintain healthy digestion
* Promote efficient metabolism
* Improve liver performance and the elimination of fat
* Naturally enhance thyroid functioning
* Eliminate toxins
* Assist with maintaining healthy body weight along with a healthy eating plan

Has SlenderPet Helped Other Pets To Lose Weight? 
"I have a chocolate Labrador who loves to eat - ANYTHING!!! She was growing fatter and fatter and was waddling like a duck everywhere she went. My vet told me to 'harden my heart' and change her diet and she had to go for a run every day. To be honest, the same could be said for me, so I decided to join her! It was the EcoSlim Drops for me and SlenderPet for her and we are both looking slimmer and healthier. We have our run everyday and we are eating well, but no more junk for me and my 'Lady'! "  —Mal.

"I wanted to write and thank you for recommending SlenderPet for my overweight cat. Along with the dietary changes you suggested, she has never looked better and is also far more active than she used to be. It must have been as you said that she had a sluggish thyroid. She used to sleep all day and all night and never show an interest in anything. I thought she was just lazy but she is now behaving almost like a kitten again!"  —Regina L.

"Thanks to you and your wonderful team for the kind help and advice which have assisted me to find something that works for my pets. I have two dogs--one is very fat and one is normal but they eat the same, yet the one is always hungry for more! When I used SlenderPet and then your Parasites remedy, my dog is not stealing food from his sister anymore and is proving to be very effective with your treatment"  —Gabby R.
