The main reason why dogs are overweight is to feed dogs too many snacks for leftover food on the table. Many dogs who eat leftovers become vitamin A poisoned and acquire excessive amounts of protein and phosphorus. If a dog is fed only leftovers, it often does not get enough calcium and may suffer from a hyperthyroidism. Nowadays, even puppies are overweight. Obese dogs are unhealthy, so for the sake of their health, try to feed them reasonably according to their nutritional needs. What is a normal weight for a dog? If you can feel your dog's ribs, your dog's weight is still normal. Viewed from the side, the dog's belly should be folded, and viewed from above, there should be a clear waist in front of the dog's hips. When you feel its ribs, you should be able to count the gaps between them, but it doesn't need to be so large that you can count them by sight.

One way to reduce the weight of an obese dog is to maintain the original feeding time but reduce the amount of food fed. The dog may not be used to it at first, so you can add a lot of vegetables and low-energy food. Another method is to increase the frequency of feeding but reduce the amount each time, but do not give him snacks.

Once a dog starts dieting, it is important to have a clear understanding of its weight. If your obese dog loses even a small amount of weight after two weeks, you're doing the right thing.

Go for regular walks (twice a day), but if the dog is really fat, don't exercise too much at first. When it comes to overbreding an obese dog, it's critical that everything is done in moderation. Aim for twice the amount of walking you are doing now. Although your dog needs grooming, it's better to give your dog more walks than not getting enough exercise.
