Dog loses half body weight
An overweight dog is an unsightly dog in my opinion as it means they are suffering. To many dog owners though, it apparently means they love them.
Recent research has shown that one third of dog owners admit they give their dogs too many treats and about the same admit that a lack of exercise is probably contributing to the problem. If you can’t keep your dog healthy then you don’t deserve one! In fact, this research also showed that two thirds of dog owners thought that there was little they could do to help their dog – not true.
One dog, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, lost half its bodyweight just by changing her diet from chocolate biscuits and chicken to weight loss prescribed food. She is still overweight, weighing in at 14.8 kg instead of the healthier expected 10kg, but at least she’s improving and is much healthier!
