It is well known as the diet regulates gene function and metabolism. Genetic differences play an important role in animal obesity (as the man otherwise) but the environment including diet play a major role in causing this disorder. The main objective of this review is investigating specialized literature to highlight how nutrigenomics influence pet obesity. In parallel with such studies, were also investigated several cases in cats with a tendency to obesity and some biochemical parameters were monitored. By dietary intervention was aimed to promote BW loss and formulated diets that can help to support the health of pets.
