Pay attention to its weight

As you already know, obesity in pets occurs when excessive adipose tissue accumulates in the body. We can say that an animal is obese when its body weight is at least 20% greater than its optimal body weight. Unfortunately, with the onset of obesity, other health problems will develop gradually and not only will they be really dangerous for our pets, but the treatment involves a lot of costs in the future. “Obesity leads to a variety of health problems,” says Gleicher.

There are some studies that suggest that 25 percent of overweight dogs can develop serious joint complications. They can develop arthritis, hip dysplasia, diabetes mellitus, heart disease and increased blood pressure, difficulty breathing, decreased stamina and liver function, digestive disorders, decreased immune function and other skin problems. 

So, if you want to prevent these diseases, try to invest in high quality food that keeps your dog healthy and happy.
