Humans are not the only ones who struggle to get their summer bodies back after getting the famous “Quarantine 15” for being locked up.

According to a new survey conducted by Wakefield Research for Banfield Pet Hospital, about 33 percent of pets have increased since the coronavirus attacked in March.

And it’s not just because a running dog has been closed.

“People at home all day with their pets on their laps are like,‘ Oh, you’re so cute. You deserve food, “said Dr. Ann Hohenhaus, veterinarian at Animal Medical Center in New York City.” This delightful food that they like is ranked as burritos and ice cream for us humans – and can package it very quickly. “

Now, some cat and dog owners place their quadrupeds on a strict diet plan.

Hohenhaus suggested the owner hopes to help pets lose weight, ensuring that only 10 percent of the animal’s daily calorie intake comes from snacks. Carving out time to exercise everyday is important.

“People with small dogs and cats are very tempted just to pick it up and carry it around because they like to be hugged, but they need to walk and have to do stairs,” Hohenhaus said. “[Otherwise,] they lose that muscle strength. “

Be sure to consult a veterinarian before changing your pet’s diet or exercise regimen, advises Hohenhaus.

Here, three people detail their pet’s weight loss trip to The Post.

Holly, a 2 year old Australian shepherd

Lost: 10 pounds in one month

Julia Bozzone was quarantined for two months at her parents’ home in Pittsburgh when she saw her dog, Holly, look different.

“I was walking with him and thinking, ‘Whoa, your stomach comes out past your feet and is much bigger than usual,'” Bozzone, 24, said. “He really wore it.”

A company sales representative from Chicago weighs a fat dog, only to find that he earns nearly 15 pounds. “At first I thought, ‘This is funny’ – because it’s really very funny,” Bozzone said. “But when I started here for two, then three months, I felt,” Okay, wait, we have to understand this. “

He blamed the newly discovered mass on his father spoiling Holly with raw meat twice a day – and filling the dog’s bowl to the brim.

“He likes it, but it’s definitely higher fat [than what I usually feed her] because he starts to gain weight right away, “Bozzone said. “It’s like when you were young and you went to your grandparents’ house and they gave you lots of cakes.”

Determined to whip his puppy back, Bozzone diverts Holly to a dry food diet and buys him a float to swim in the family pool.

“He liked it and it was really tiring,” said the dog’s mother.

After one determined month, Holly rose from 55 to 45 pounds. The goal is to make it 40.

“He is still a little thicker than before, but he is on the right track,” Bozzone said.

Finn Diesel, 10 year old cat

Lost: 2 pounds in two months

Finn Diesel has struggled with its weight since its owner, Beth Moses, rescued him from the Humane Society eight years ago.

“He becomes very anxious and stressed if he sees the bottom of a food bowl,” said Moses, 30.

When quarantine crashed, she and her boyfriend began to spend most of their time at home rather than at work.

“I noticed how slow he was and, at first, thought he was just an ordinary cat – because we were upset we went home all the time and were right on it,” said the resident of St. Louis. “But then we were like,” Maybe this is more than just him being a cat. Maybe he is not healthy. ‘”

So he dropped Finn Diesel on a scale in mid-April and was surprised to find him reaching 24 pounds. (A healthy weight for cats with a size and age of around 10 pounds, according to him WebMD.)

Because Musa already knew Finn was having difficulty with food, he decided to focus on fitness.

“We try to involve him more and do a few laser pointers at least once a day,” he said. “And because we are at home to play and distract him, he ends up eating less.”

But the original game modifier was a bird feeder that they placed outside their window.

“He had to jump on a cedar coffin that was about 2.5 cm high to get to the window,” said Moses, research coordinator for a cancer test. “He had never jumped on it before, so I think that movement helped him become lighter and more muscular.”

The fat cat is now on its way to reach its namesake chisel – the action star Vin Diesel, of course – and has lost 2 pounds.

Brody, a 4 year old Labrador retriever

Lost: 6 pounds in three months

Donna Hanlon first started her 4-year-old black laboratory, Brody, on a diet last fall on the orders of her veterinarian. But when the lockout starts, and goes into their place to walk – Gateway National Park Sandy Hook – closes, it starts to gain weight again.

“We really reached a stagnant time where he couldn’t lose weight because we didn’t exercise like that [before]”Said Hanlon, who lives in Monmouth County on the Jersey Shore and is a watercolor painter. “Brody is afraid of other dogs so it becomes very difficult to find a place to take him to a place that he feels comfortable and safe. So we rarely walk. “

After a March visit to the veterinarian – who was “a little upset because he gained weight” and gained 8 pounds, from 96 to 104 pounds – Hanlon had to find another way to help Brody melt fat.

Limiting her food intake to only 70 calories a day, she also has to talk with kind-hearted neighbors.

“He gave Brody Milk-Bones which he threw to the fence, [so] I must say, “Please don’t give him any more,” Hanlon said.

Now, dogs enjoy frozen yogurt cubes instead of fatter snacks, and play outdoor games like picking up balls. And he dropped to 98 pounds.

“She’s like a puppy again – tired and satisfied at the end of the day,” Hanlon said. “I’m very proud of him.”
