The reasons for dogs being obese in those years
1. I keep eating and eating, over-feeding
0 The main reason why dogs become fat is the first to eat. Although I can't eat it in one breath, many mouthfuls will definitely be fine. If the amount is not controlled every day and the dog is given a lot of high-calorie things, its body cannot absorb so much energy, and naturally it will be converted into fat, and the dog will gain weight. Even if you love your children, you should feed them appropriately!
2. The causes of breed
Sometimes genes are such a magical thing, and some dogs have a fat physique "given" by God. Like Pug, Bulldog , Labrador , Chihuahua , these dogs are all "potential stocks" of obesity. Compared with other dogs, if they do not control their appetite and increase their exercise volume, it is really easy to get fat into a ball in minutes!
3. The amount of exercise is too small
You should know that exercise is very important for dogs. Because some poop shovelers are too busy or too lazy, they rarely take their dogs out for a walk. The dogs go to bed after eating, wake up and eat without any exercise to consume calories. In the long run, sooner or later it will become a "gas tank"!
4.
Dogs will gain weight due to some uncontrollable factors. Diseases are also an important reason for dogs to become fat, such as insufficient thyroid kinetic energy, thyroid secretion disorders, etc. If the dog gains weight due to these reasons, it is better to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

obesity can easily cause damage to the dog's body. Excessive fat accumulates in the body and cannot be consumed by dogs, which will make the dog's chance of getting sick more than before, so the lifespan will be shorter than that of healthy dogs.
2. It is easy to fracture
