Your brother in law needs to recognize that he has an problem and its affecting not only himself but his pets. This is harmful. It may be a suggestion to meet as a family and discuss your concerns with him. He may be placing himself at a high health risk (if overweight or obese) and decreasing his life expectancy. If you are close to him, please speak about it as he needs help.
