description Obesity, is a life-threatening condition common among various animals, is a multisystemic disorder that may affect the gastrointestinal system, urinary system, reproductive system, respiratory system, and musculoskeletal system. According to various studies, more than 50% of cats and dogs are obese.

This review paper acquires the knowledge of various scientific manuscripts to discuss the development and consequences of obesity in pets especially cats and dogs.
