ISSUE FOCUS 42 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE December 2022 “Helping dogs to control their weight will help prolong their lifespan, and it does not mean that dogs are helpless when they are in a state of obesity. Parents can properly control the food intake of the dogs, and take the dogs to exercise more. You can also choose bile acids to control the dog's weight.” Some dogs may not look fat to the naked eye, but their weight is much more swollen than the standard weight. The American Veterinary Medical Association believes that dogs that exceed 30% of the standard weight of the breed can be identified as obese. Moreover, the idea that a few pounds of fat for dogs is not a big problem is also a misunderstanding. For us humans, a few pounds of fat may not have much effect, but for dogs, the consequences of gaining 5 pounds are more serious than 30 pounds for humans! Because our human weight base starts with a hundred, but the weight of most dogs is not! So we can't measure the weight of pets from our own perspective. There is such a slogan on the forum of the American Veterinary Medical Association: if you gain 5 pounds, your wallet will pay a lot; if your cat gain 5 pounds, your wallet will pay more! WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO GIVE YOUR DOG WEIGHT CONTROL? Loi Lee Pet Department Sales Manager Lachance Group
