Dog obesity looks chubby and cute, but it actually poses a significant danger to the dog's health. Generally, obese dogs have a much higher risk of hypertension, and an enlarged heart operating under overload will also affect other organs. What to do if the dog is too fat? How can the dog lose weight?

A large part of dog obesity is due to the owner's fault. Owners who pamper and feed their dogs indiscriminately make them lazy and gluttonous, so obesity is inevitably the result. At this time, it is recommended to use the following methods to help the dog lose weight.

◎ Hunger Therapy: Just like humans need to temporarily give up delicious food when losing weight, owners should gradually reduce the dog's food portion during weight loss. However, there are two premises for using this method. First, the owner must be "firm" and not constantly worry about "what if the dog gets too hungry?" For the dog's long-term health, the owner must persevere; second, to ensure no food is available at home for the dog to forage. Also, when dogs are hungry, they may take out their frustration on sofas or slippers or look for "wild food" outside. To avoid these situations, it is best to provide the dog with a closed environment, such as confining it alone in an empty small room or a spacious dog cage. Persisting for one month will definitely help the dog lose weight.

◎ Food Replacement Therapy: Dog weight loss can mainly use hunger therapy supplemented by food replacement therapy. Food replacement therapy means replacing high-fat dog food with low-fat, high-fiber food. If the dog is dissatisfied with the changed food and refuses to eat, then fully adopt hunger therapy, letting the dog continue to fast for two meals.
