Many owners think that dogs are cute only when they are fat, but they don't know that obese dogs have many troubles, such as being more prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, often having poor joints and shortening their life span. When the owner begins to pay attention to these problems, the dog has often become a "big fat man". In order to help dogs lose weight scientifically, owners should do a series of work.

First, find a veterinarian.

Some diseases can also lead to obesity in dogs. If the dog becomes fat because of the disease, what the owner should do is to treat the dog, not to lose weight.

Second, make plans.

Dogs of different sizes and breeds have a standard weight range, so you need to know what your dog's weight should be in order to make a complete weight loss plan. It's best to work out a weight loss plan with the veterinarian, because they know what kind of goals can be installed for dogs and can be successfully achieved. In addition, the veterinarian will tell you some precautions that you will ignore or don't know at all, which may be extremely important for dogs.

Third, move.

After making a plan, we should start to implement it step by step. Never fish for three days and dry the net for two days. You should know that losing weight is a long-term process, and only persistence can complete the initial goal. The general veterinarian's plan will include two aspects: diet control and exercise. For dogs accustomed to primitive life, it will be a bit difficult to implement at first. For example, when food is reduced, I always feel that I don't have enough to eat, and snacks seem to be slowly disappearing. They will definitely want to "live a dark life", but no matter how cute they are, their owners should not be soft-hearted. In addition, because the dog is overweight, the owner should pay attention to the exercise mode when giving the dog exercise, because excessive exercise or incorrect exercise mode will cause great pressure on the dog's body, which is not good for the dog's health.

Fourth, weigh yourself

Weighing is the most direct means to test weight loss, and you can also judge the dog's physical condition by observing the weight change. For example, when the dog's weight drops too fast, continues to drop or even rise, it may be that there is something wrong with the dog's body, and the owner should take the dog to the pet hospital for examination in time.

V. Anti-obesity

The success of losing weight for dogs is not the end. You need to help the dog keep the ideal weight all the time. Don't let the dog live his old life just because he has regained his slim figure.
