Is Your Dog in Good Shape?
Procijenjeno vrijeme čitanja
Your vet has probably already discussed with you how easy it is for even the most diligently cared-for pet to put on weight. As well as the obvious potential causes - eating too much, excessive snacking or exercising too little - there can be other contributing factors:
- As pets age, they become less active and therefore need fewer calories
- Some breeds are more predisposed to weight gain than others, including
Labrador retrievers, cocker spaniels and mixed breed cats - The process of neutering or spaying alters the metabolism of pets,
making them prone to weight gain - Occasionally weight gain is associated with specific medical
conditions that require particular treatment
Other signs to watch for:
- Collar needs loosening
- Slow movement
- Difficulty in walking
- Shortness of breath
- Mood swings
- Sleeps more than usual
