Second, refer to the relevant weight data of various breeds of dogs; Third, you can touch both sides of the dog's chest. If you can easily feel that the ribs under the cortex are normal, if you feel that a thick layer of fat needs to be hard to touch the ribs, it is obese and overweight. In addition, you can go to the pet hospital for veterinary appraisal. Dogs are as obese as humans! Being overweight will shorten the life span of dogs and cause many diseases, such as heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, bone problems, arthritis, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and skin diseases. And when the weight exceeds the normal state, the higher the proportion, the higher the probability of causing the above diseases, so as the owner of the dog, we must pay close attention to it in our daily life!
