Keeping your pet in shape with techniques that promote their overall well-being.
A dog that is overweight, like humans, can have many problems. It is essential to keep your pet at a healthy weight to ensure they live a long happy life.
A dog is seen as overweight when you can no longer easily feel the ribs or cannot visualize a definitive waistline.
Any breed can become overweight if not fed or appropriately exercised, but some breeds are predisposed to certain illnesses that can cause weight gain.
Having a weight loss management consultation with a veterinarian can help shed light on why your pet is overweight as well as receiving a recommendation on how to help your dog healthily lose the extra weight.
