Why is it important to give your dog weight control?

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!

We are also well aware that obesity in dogs and cats can have many adverse effects on health and longevity. Obesity in pets is not as simple as panting twice when walking. It is closely related to many diseases, such as joint disease, diabetes, cardiopulmonary disease, liver disease, etc., which are all difficult to cure once they are sick. And there is such a survey at the Veterinary Hospital in Ohio, USA: Even if the dog is not obese, as long as its body weight exceeds 10% of the standard body weight, its life expectancy will be reduced by 1/3, because it is easier. Diabetes, heart disease, cancer. And after long-term statistics and investigations by the dean, it was found that if a dog who has been obese can lose 6% of its current body weight, its mental state and health state will be significantly changed.

Therefore, 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. When it comes to this, parents may ask how to control weight and try to lose weight. In fact, this is also the same as losing weight, you need to take it slowly, and too urgent a method will have certain damage to the body. Parents can properly control the food intake of the dogs, and take the dogs to exercise more. After all, it is an effective method to keep your mouth shut and open your legs. You can also choose bile acids to control the dog’s weight. Bile acids can promote fat burning, prevent excessive fat deposition, and turn the ingested fat into energy for the dog’s body, instead of being piled into the body to become fat! And it can prevent dogs and cats from suffering from fatty liver, heart disease, and other diseases in advance so that pets are less sick and parents are less worried!
