Dog obesity is basically the same as human obesity, because the body stores too much fat, which makes the body bloated. This is obesity. In fact, dog obesity is a manifestation of sub-health state. If not controlled, it will easily lead to some diseases of dogs, such as diabetes, skin diseases, heart diseases, liver dysfunction and so on. So what are the reasons for dog obesity?
First, the diet problem.
Dogs eating too much can easily lead to overnutrition and fat accumulation, which will make dogs get fat slowly. Picky food and partial eclipse can easily lead to insufficient nutrition, unbalanced body nutrition and obesity in dogs. Overeating and picky eaters are unhealthy diets. In the dog's growing period, it is easy to cause overnutrition, or the body is seriously lacking some nutrition, which is the imbalance of hormone secretion in dogs. Induced obesity in dogs, resulting in a series of obesity sequelae. It is one of the effective ways to avoid dog obesity to eat on time and in quantity and have balanced nutrition.
Second, the problem of snacks.
It often happens that when you are eating, the dog squats and waits, looking at you stupidly, as if not eating a little is unkind and sorry to him. When a dog looks at you with hopeful eyes, it is hard for ordinary people to refuse not to bite him. However, we know that if the calories of these snacks accumulate for a long time, such as feeding him some when eating cookies or desserts, it is also a source of calories that cannot be ignored, which will make dogs fat. Therefore, the supply of snacks should be "purposeful". If the dog does something right or behaves well, we will reward 1 or two biscuits or small pieces of meat as encouragement, instead of eating with him or giving him as much as we want.
As for the fruits that people often eat, although they can be given to dogs, the amount needs to be grasped, because the sugar in fruits is quite high, and small pieces of 1 and 2 can be used, but not too much. Some people will feed their own food to dogs, which is especially common in "old-fashioned" dogs, but the calorie of human food is not easy to calculate, so when feeding, too many calories can easily lead to obesity of dogs.
Third, do not love sports.
Like people, lack of exercise is one of the reasons why dogs are obese. The calories and fat that dogs consume every day need to be consumed through dog exercise. If the dog just likes to hide at home and is too lazy to move, it will definitely lead to the accumulation of heat and fat in the body, making the dog more and more obese. If the owner wants the dog to be slim and healthy, he needs to guide the dog to do regular exercise, take the dog out for a walk in the park, promote the dog's blood circulation, enhance the metabolic function, effectively consume the calories and fat that the dog consumes every day, and avoid the dog's obesity.
Fourth, the cause of the disease
Insufficient thyroid kinetic energy, hyperthyroidism, islet gland tumors and some brain tumors can also lead to obesity in dogs.

Reasons for the aging of verbs (abbreviation of verb)
Dogs began to age, the metabolic function of the body began to slow down, the digestive system began to decline, and the bones began to slowly degenerate. Older dogs don't like jumping, but prefer sleeping, which easily leads to the accumulation of heat and fat in the body and obesity. The older the dog is, the more the owner should guide the dog to do some simple exercise or often take him for a walk outdoors. First, it can strengthen the bone exercise of old dogs, and it can also effectively consume fat and calories to avoid obesity of old dogs.
Sixth, the variety problem.
Perhaps many pet adults don't understand that dog obesity is also related to dog breeds. This is caused by the genetic factors of dogs, such as myna, Jingba, bullfighting and other dog breeds are easy to get fat. Although these dogs are also active and love sports, they are more likely to gain weight than other dogs due to breed genetic reasons.
Seven, sterilization
Sterilization is also an important cause of dog obesity. For neutered dogs, they lose interest in many things. They don't want to go out on a date because they smell a bitch in estrus and are too lazy to move. In addition, they are in a good mood and have a good appetite, which often makes them suddenly fat after sterilization. In addition, after the operation, the hormones in their bodies will change, which will affect their metabolism and cause the dogs to get fat.
Bian Xiao suggested that a balanced diet, reasonable exercise and regular disease prevention are the prerequisites to ensure the dog's health. In short, let dogs sleep less, sleep more, exercise more, eat less snacks and eat more food, so that obesity will stay away from dogs.
