Just as with us, dogs can accumulate a few extra kilos, that can affect their health and vitality. Obesity can be a problem, possibly leading to heart disease, diabetes, joint pain and breathing difficulties.
How to help your dog get back into shape?
If your four-legged friend has a few extra kilos, don’t worry: here are some tips to get him back into shape in a healthy and stress-free way.
Consult your vet – Before you start, it is good to get expert advice.
Pay attention to portions – Better weigh the food instead of eyeballing it
More exercise – Games, longer walks, maybe a swim in the sea!
Fewer snacks, more cuddles – Food is not the only way to reward your dog.
Gradual weight loss – No drastic diets: better small, steady improvements.
The goal is not just to make your dog thinner, but to ensure that he lives a longer, happier and more adventurous life.
