One of the most pressing problems of the 21st century is the problem of overweight and obesity in humans and animals. Currently, obesity is considered a chronic metabolic disease that occurs at any age. Scientific studies confirm that pet owners who are overweight also keep animals whose weight exceeds the norm by about 20 %. Among domestic dogs, obesity is registered in more than 30-40 % of animals. Meanwhile, there is a growing interest among specialists in medicine, both human and animal, for weight correction is a comprehensive approach, in which the main components are proper nutrition and therapeutic physical culture.
