Right now there is a pet obesity epidemic. It coincides with the human obesity epidemic. We eat too much and we feed our pets too much. We eat junk and unhealthy food and we do the same to our pets.
People don't want to see that their pet is over weight because they would have to see that they are over weight themselves.
A slim, trim person who exercises and eats well is going to take their dog for walks and feed them well. They are going to be aware of their cats health. People who don't look after themselves don't look after their pets any better.
You are right, overweight pets only live half a life. They are restricted by their lack of health from their weight while they are alive and they will die early. If we really loved our pets we wouldn't let them become obese in the first place.
