It seems almost a quarter of cat and dog owners sometimes overfeed their pet to keep them happy .
The New Zealand Veterinary Association s Helen Beattie says people should figure out what s best for their pet if they re looking a little chunky.
She says the best place to go is the vet, who understands individual animal needs, and will make sure the kind of food which is chosen by the owner is safe.
