Dogs are very gluttonous, almost always welcome.
What are the dangers of obesity in dogs:
1. Heart disease: Obesity in dogs can lead to fat accumulation. These fats not only accumulate under the skin, but also increase the fat content in the blood. The result is that dogs have a higher chance of heart disease!
2. Diabetes: Diabetes is not only a nightmare for humans, it is also a nightmare for dogs, and obesity is the culprit of diabetes, so be sure to keep dogs from being obese!
3. Arthritis: Since the body weight of obese dogs also increases significantly, this will put an additional burden on the dog's bones, resulting in a greater chance of arthritis, and may even be paralyzed!
4. Spinal diseases: The pressure on the spine of dogs with excessive obesity is very large, so spinal diseases are more common in obese dogs, and even severe lower body disabilities!
5. Diseases of the urinary, respiratory and endocrine systems: The complications of these systems are caused by obesity in dogs. Obesity is a symptom of sub-health, so the incidence of these diseases is still relatively high!
Causes of obesity in dogs:
1. Excessive nutrition: This is the main reason for the obesity of dogs. Because many owners love their dogs, they will give them sufficient food, which results in excess nutrition in dogs, which leads to obesity symptoms in dogs!
2. Lack of exercise: Exercise is an important means of losing weight, and if the dog owner does not take the dog out to exercise, over time, the dog will become very obese!
3. Age and breed relationship: The older the dog is, the more likely it is to be obese, and the female dog is more likely to be obese! In addition, the breed of some dogs also determines the probability of the dog being obese, such as Beagles, Cocker Spaniels,
4. Endocrine disorders: If the dog has undergone sterilization or other operations, these operations will more or less lead to endocrine disorders in the dog, which will make the dog prone to obesity!
5. Genetic factors: This factor is relatively helpless, so pay attention to whether the dog father and dog mother are obese!
