Veterinary researchers estimate that over 50% of dogs in the United States are obese, explains DogInsider.com. According to the latest guide, excessive weight gain can cause a variety of health issues, including breathing difficulties, heart complications, diabetes and joint pain. The cost of treating these conditions is high and the large number of dogs suffering from health issues related to their weight has led to vets referring to canine obesity as “an epidemic”.
As with weight gain in humans, a combination of poor diet and lack of exercise are the main causes of obesity in dogs. In a market saturated with cheap choices and clever marketing, canine experts advise checking the nutritional content of dog food labels in order to ensure that their pet is getting the vitamins and minerals they need for a healthy diet. The guide by DogInsider.com also suggests consulting a veterinarian or nutritionist for advice if pet owners suspect their pup is overweight.
“Weight gain doesn’t happen overnight - it happens slowly without us noticing until one day, we realize that our beloved pooch has put on a few extra pounds,” explains a DogInsider.com spokesperson. “Symptoms of obesity in dogs can start out quite subtle, but they quickly progress if left unchecked, which is why our canine experts suggest regular weight monitoring in consultation with a vet.”
According to the guidance available on DogInsider.com, there are simple steps that pet owners can take to avoid weight gain. These include ensuring dogs get regular exercise, cutting down on treat foods, and checking for excess body fat around their pet’s rib cage and abdomen.
When it comes to obesity in dogs, prevention is preferable to treatment. The experts contributing to the latest guide say that establishing a routine for meals and exercise can help build and maintain healthy habits.
“In order to tackle this obesity epidemic, collaboration between vets and pet owners is key to giving our dogs healthier, happier lives,” the guide states.
