Senior diet pet foods assume all pets have kidney disease or are overweight, which is completely misplaced and inappropriate," she says. "The majority of senior pets are not overweight and do not have kidney disease and should remain on regular, good-quality food. "I encourage people to weigh their elderly cats monthly," says [Lea Stogdale]. "Cats are small, so losing just a pound is quite significant and a cause for concern."

"This way we can find problems while they are still in their developing stage."

In human costs, being attached to an artificial kidney machine four to five hours a day, three or four times a week "is like having a very complicated cancer regimen" to follow, she says. When [Joanne Kappel] moved back home to Saskatoon in 1989, there were 25 dialysis patients being treated at St. Paul's Hospital. Today, there are 265. "Those chairs are always filled. The number of overweight and obese children in Canada has doubled in the past 20 years, and Type 2 diabetes in children is rising. Recent data suggest an American child born in 2000 stands a one-in-three chance of being diagnosed with diabetes in his or her lifetime. "I would think that we're in the same boat," Kappel says.
