Obesity in the Dog and Cat

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This is an indispensable guide for any veterinarian or veterinary technician interested in better understanding the disease of obesity. The authors reach far beyond the traditional clinical approach of, "Feed less, exercise more," and explore the current pathophysiology of obesity and emerging treatment options. Thoroughly researched and packed with practical advice, this is the textbook I wish I had twenty-five years ago. Highly recommended.

This book will be valuable for anyone managing obesity cases in practice as there is considerable practical information. I found the chapter on behavioral management of obesity especially useful. There is also good information on the pathophysiology and sequaela of obesity. By necessity, there is information from human obesity where we don't have sufficient information in dogs and cats; however, this points to useful areas for future research.

Presented in a well-organized and easily-scanned format, this is an important reference for every small animal practice.

In this multiauthored text, aspects of the pathophysiology of obesity in dogs and cats are considered in relation to overall health and disease. This book will primarily be of value to veterinary nutritionists and clinicians interested in medical management of the obese patient.
