Help, My Dog is Overweight!

Is your dog overweight? Overweight dogs are prone to health problems. The extra weight puts stress on their, joints, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. It is just as dangerous for your dog to have the extra weight, as it is for humans. But you can control this.
When you feed your dog, make sure you are giving him the instructed amount on the dog food bag. Read the ingredients label on the dog food and make sure the food has nutritional value. You can divide the instructed amount written on the label in half; give half to him in the morning and the other half in the evening. This will help prevent his stomach from getting too acidy because of being empty too long. Do not feed your dog from the table. Limit the amount of food scraps he is getting.
Monitoring the amount of food your dog is getting along with regular exercise will help keep your dog from becoming obese. For more information, click here!
