Explanation

Obesity is most prevalent in middle-aged dogs and cats, typically between 5 and 12 years of age. During this period, metabolic rates naturally slow down, and activity levels often decrease, while geriatric pets (12+ years) may actually experience weight loss due to underlying chronic diseases or muscle wasting.
