I measured my Hope’s weight today and found that she has gained another 10 pounds and is almost square when viewed from the back. In fact, not only my family, but also the dog owners in the community reported that after 14 days of lockdown, the dogs at home generally gained weight. Nowadays, most dogs are walked less often, and obesity is a common phenomenon. Many owners also feed less, for fear of getting too fat, but the dogs are hungry, and they start to eat secretly if they are not fed enough, especially dogs like golden retriever and Labrador. Dogs like Lado eat secretly when they don't have enough to eat, and they behave very innocently when caught.
Obesity is not a good thing for dogs. It accelerates the wear and tear of joints in large dogs and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in old age. However, now they are well fed and exercise less. Dogs sleep when they have nothing to do at home during the day, eat, sleep, and wake up. I only eat and exercise a few times every day during walks, and I am almost no different from a pig. The dog who has not exercised since childhood has become even less interested in exercising. The owner of the golden retriever next door thinks he is too fat. I have to help him lose weight, and he has gone a long way. The dog couldn't walk and lay on the ground unable to get up, and the owner couldn't hold it, so he finally drove to pick him up.
You still need to exercise reasonable restraint when raising a dog. You can’t spoil the dog with everything. My mother’s dog eats dog food , chicken breasts, and ham sausages all year round for the dog to eat. I also give the dog a can of yogurt every night. Now the dogs have no necks, and they are out of breath after running a few times. The last time I was sick, I had to be held by two people in the hospital before I could move him.
