In our 2022 U.S. survey, 61% of cats and 59% of dogs are estimated to be overweight or have obesity.



The 2024 Pet Obesity Prevalence Survey has been expanded to include international submissions. In addition to dogs, cats, equine will also be included in this year’s survey.

We need your help to improve the health and well-being of pets.

Our mission is to solve the complex challenges of pet obesity through deeper understanding and collaboration, promote evidence-based obesity and weight loss interventions, drive important research to understand the health impacts and causes of weight and obesity-related disorders in animals, and advance the discussion of pet obesity and its impact on health and the human-animal bond.
