Would you consider your pet overweight?

My 3 are perfect weights. Murph just trimmed off a couple of pounds in the last 6 months and it's definitely helping with his arthritis.

Zsa-Zsa's managed to retain a little middle-age spread, but she doesn't eat like she used to so she has shed a few lbs since her earlier years. Tia is fine, and Foxy may possibly be a little underweight, even though she stuffs herself silly with all the treats we give her

heck no lol my absolute biggest pet peeve is overweight animals, I would go absolutly insane if I fat pet set foot in my house lol

LOL Katie's a little tub ball - I started buying her light dry food and it seems to be helping a bit. She has a belly on her. She loves her dry food, eats a little soft food a day, and doesn't care much for treats. Belle on the other hand, is a skinny little thing and her favorite time of day is feeding time Funny how that works...Roscoe is at a pretty good weight right now, he was really skinny when we first got him but he looks much healthier now

What if they had a medical problem that made them that way?

Exactly, and that can be kind of difficult to control at times - most animals are not actually at a perfect weight, and neither are humans.

I can kinda-sorta agree with Cali,severely overweight dogs is a huge pet peeve of mine. If there is absolutely no medical reason for the dog to be obese than it really shouldn't...IMO...

My Shadow is overweight, a bit, but she is not obese. She could stand to lose a few pounds, and keeping all that weight on her is not healthy for her joints or general health at all. BUT another peeve of mine is dogs that are too skinny....like my Kyra. She does not eat well or consitantly and I absolutely hate it but there isn't much we can do. And Micki, he has arthritis really bad and has bad elbows, if there is very much extra weight on him it would make him even more uncomfortable so I have been trying to slim him down a bit. Jack is perfect to me, you can just feel his ribs if you take your hands down his sides but his backbone or any other bones aren't protruding or anything.

I picked both yes and no.
Unfortunately, Frisk is overweight. No matter how much I beg my mother and father, they insist that table scraps "won't hurt him". We're working with him, though. We've changed to a better dog food and walk him at least five times a week. We see improvement!
Ethan isn't the kind to gain weight easily, so he's not overweight. Actually, when we adopted him, he was still slightly underweight, but he's fixed that. Also, Ethan isn't the kind of dog that can eat and eat like Frisk can. If he eats just a little too much, we get to clean it up off the floor when he can't hold it down.

t.j was under weight for awhile and zoey is just perfect.

Well i have not purposely made my cats overweight, as I said before i do not overfeed them, they are just that way inclined IMO, maybe i could reduce their intake some, but like people they are all different and come in all shapes and sizes, gosh Cali if you feel that way about pets, how do you feel about overweight people then?

[king2005]

I said no, but I should have said yes. My fish are fat hehehe. I feed them TOO well
I don't over feed them, I just feed them a really good diet & since the fish decided to stay very still & stare at me ALL day they don't burn any energy Now both of my fish can see eachother & the really fat one (Mango) tries to kill Jack ALL day long, so hes been loosing a lot of weight the past few days. Jack LOVES teasing Mango cause he knows Mango cannot get to him.. so hes been swimming more to piss Mango off hehehe

Axle my snapper, only eats ever 2-4 weeks & doesn't move much at this time of the year, so hes thin.. in the summer hes more active, & eats once a weeks so he puts on weight & grows about 5-10 every summer (which he doesn't loose during the winter)
