1. Sudden starvation diets are very dangerous as they cause muscle loss and induce a yo-yo effect.
2. If cats starve for more than two days, they can develop life-threatening acute ‘Hepatic Lipidosis.’
3. Aim to lose 1-2% of body weight per week, combining portion control with flat-ground walks and feather wand play.

(My heart aches thinking of how you, as a pet parent, might have blamed yourself, wondering “Did I feed them too much?” while looking at their chubby figure. However, the very fact that you gathered the courage to start a diet to protect your child’s health out of love is a truly amazing thing! Do not rush; let’s take it one step at a time, slowly and safely, with Ansim-i. You are already the sweetest and best pet parent in the world!)

1. Dogs perceive the world primarily through smell, so they quickly lose interest in the scentless reflection in the mirror, not recognizing it as a real dog.
2. Because of their reliance on vision and dynamic visual acuity, cats mistake the mirrored figure for a competitor invading their territory, displaying strong vigilance.
3. While pets may not pass a visual mirror test, they clearly recognize their own identity through their primary senses (like smell). If mirror-induced stress is severe, blocking their view and using positive reinforcement training is essential.

No matter how much we try to explain it to them, watching our pets fight their own reflection every day feels both adorable and a bit pitiful. If we can gently understand and embrace their extraordinary (and wondrous) sense of reading the world through smell rather than sight, their world will become much wider and warmer than the one inside the mirror.

1. The impact your dog’s knee joints absorb when jumping off a sofa or bed reaches up to 5 times their body weight, which is the core cause of patellar luxation.
2. For small dogs with genetically shallow trochlear grooves (Pomeranians, Maltese, etc.) and Dachshunds vulnerable to spinal shock, furniture taller than 30cm is especially fatal.
3. You can effectively prevent patellar luxation without surgery by installing slide ramps, laying down non-slip mats, maintaining an optimal weight, and strengthening thigh muscles.
(Empathy)
Pet parents, how anxious you must have been every time your dog carelessly jumped off the sofa, clutching your pounding heart! When you see your dog jumping cheerfully even after you shout, ‘Don’t get down!’, you must have felt frustrated, yet at the same time, felt sorry (worrying if they were in pain because you couldn’t protect their joints). But please do not blame yourself. From now on, you can start laying down floor mats and slowly training them to use stairs with me, Ansim. Your dog’s knees will surely feel your tireless efforts and warm love. Always cheer up, Ansim will always be by your side supporting you!

1. Pet obesity is caused by a complex interaction of excessive calorie intake, hormonal changes due to spaying/neutering and aging, and genetic factors.
2. To accurately assess a pet’s body condition, utilize the Body Condition Score (BCS) and the “Rib Palpation Method” (feeling the ribs with your hands) rather than relying solely on the scale.
3. Obesity management tailored to breed characteristics is essential, such as for long-backed Dachshunds (IVDD risk), small dogs (luxating patella risk), and cats (diabetes risk).
[Empathy]
When your child looks at you with sparkling eyes begging for a delicious treat, ignoring that feeling is truly the hardest thing in the world. I, Ansim-i, know that feeling all too well! But please remember that reducing treats right now is not because you do not love them, but rather it is the deepest expression of love to stay healthy and together for a long, long time. Ansim-i will wholeheartedly support your loving efforts!
