Just like humans, pets can suffer from obesity. But we may not notice it right away with them. We see our four-legged companion every day and we simply overlook the fact that he is getting fat in front of our eyes.
Obesity is a disease like any other and storing sugars can be very harmful to your pet. This is a large-scale problem that is becoming more and more frequent in our country. Obesity means an increase in adipose tissue caused by the dog having a higher energy intake than energy expenditure. A dog is classified as obese if its weight exceeds 15-20% of its ideal weight and you can’t feel the ribs through the skin. Reduced activity and lethargy are also signs of obesity.
It doesn’t have to be the owner’s fault! Genetic predispositions of the dog, but also age, lifestyle and neutering contribute to obesity. The risk of obesity is up to 2 times higher in females and neutered dogs. However, the most important factor is
Nutrition
. In dogs, it is necessary to ensure a regular supply of good quality food, adults usually receive two smaller portions a day. Also be careful what treats you give your dog, reward him only with treats without excess added sugars and do not feed him from the table.
Being overweight can expose your dog to a number of serious health problems. Excess fat coats the internal organs and puts pressure on the arteries, which can cause cardiovascular disease. In addition, your dog may suffer from heart and respiratory problems, lowered immunity, arthritis and is at greater risk of diabetes. Females can also become completely infertile and, worst of all, obesity significantly shortens the lifespan of dogs.
