Many parents like to keep dogs fat, not only look like a likable, but also feel that they are physically and mentally healthy and not easily sick if they get fat. In fact, obesity in dogs is very unfavorable for physical and mental health. It is very prone to high blood lipids, myocardial infarction, rheumatism and other diseases, and will continue to cause great burden on the respiratory tract. So which dogs are considered obesity? How should I know?
1. You can refer to the relevant weight materials of each breed of dog and compare the weight of your own dog. According to dogs' "global" regulations, if dogs weigh more than 10%-15% of their standard weight, they are considered obesity. Parents can check and compare it independently.
2. Fitting method: Applicable to dogs with longer hair and cannot see clearly in their body shape. When dogs sit in normal sitting posture, use their hands to stroke both sides of the dog's breasts. All normal, physical and mental health and uniform body can touch the ribs, but the outer skin is not firmly attached to the ribs. If you can only touch the thick flesh on the hand and you can't touch the ribs at all, or you have to press hard to touch the ribs, then you will be slightly fat. But if the ribs are prominent and the skin is close, it is the main manifestation of excessive weight.
3. Observation: It is suitable for short-haired dogs, and can see dogs with body shapes that can be watched.
The dog with a standardized body looks down from the dog's body and looks vertically, and can see the slightly thin waist; when squatting down and looking straight at the dog from the side, you can see the abdominal cavity being pulled upward. If the waist is too thin and the waist is too round or loose, it is a reflection of too fat.
4. Feel. The dog is very lazy and pants as soon as it moves. In addition, dog obesity will continue to be mainly reflected in its personal behaviors of food, clothing, housing and transportation. I firmly believe that careful parents can also find that dogs will become more and more lazy and do not want to move, or they will immediately get angry, as if they move, as if they feel uncomfortable. Under such circumstances, obesity has long caused a series of dogs to have a lot of action problems, and they really have to lose weight!
