(Saint Petersburg, FL - February 26, 2011)

The current data has been released. Over 50% of American pets are fat. Like their overweight owners, obese pets, specifically cats, are at a significant risk of contracting diabetes, high blood pressure, and even kidney failure. While there has been much recent attention associated with these portly purring pets, cats and kittens that are too skinny may also have significant health issues.

One of the most common health issues with cats and often characterized by skinny and emaciated animals is chronic renal failure (CRF) (i.e. kidney failure). CRF occurs when the kidneys can no longer balance electrolytes and eliminate waste effectively. Cats typically lose weight due to the following common symptoms of CRF:

• Excessive urination

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Dehydration

• Stomach Irritation

• Constipation

• Loss of Appetite

While these symptoms can often be confused with just a "sick pet", these and other symptoms of CRF do not typically show themselves until 70% of the cat's kidney function is lost. Therefore, owners that notice these symptoms should take immediate action by going to the veterinarian and providing supplemental care at home.

One of the best methods of caring for a cat with CRF and helping to potentially prevent the onset of age related CRF in the first place is to provide proper nutritional support such as electrolyte supplementation (e.g. potassium citrate) and to encourage hydration (which is not an easy task with cats). While the vet can provide prescription solutions and make other over-the-counter recommendations, there are cost-effective holistic options that cat owners can use to help manage and potentially prevent certain causes of CRF. For example, COOL CAT Holistic Kidney Support Formula is a cost-effective solution that contains pharmaceutical grade electrolytes, highly purified water, and a choice of natural flavors cats love to encourage hydration and support the kidney's role in electrolyte balance. With the daily maintenance dose being only 2 tablespoons poured over your cat's food, COOL CAT Holistic Kidney Support Formula is also a simple and easy to use solution to help manage kidney problems in cats and kittens.

While fat pets are one the biggest health issues for American pets today, a skinny pet does not always equate to a healthy one.
