Pet Obesity Is a Disease—Let’s Treat It That Way
Obesity is a serious health threat affecting millions of pets worldwide. At the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, we’re committed to changing the conversation—recognizing clinical obesity as a disease that requires proactive diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Through research, education, and collaboration with veterinary professionals and pet owners, we’re leading the movement toward better health outcomes for pets everywhere.
