Résumé

Obesity is a significant health concern among companion animals, particularly dogs and cats, with numerous detrimental health implications. Many pet owners struggle with managing their pets' weight, and they often underestimate their pets' body condition. This study, held in France from 2020 to 2022, revealed that about one quarter of pet owners underestimate their pets' body condition. Having children was linked to this underestimation for both dog and cat owners. This discovery highlights the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to the health and well-being of pets and emphasizes the need for a holistic "One Health" strategy.
