Over weight Dog?
It’s a sad fact that many dogs in this country are overweight. In many cases, the owners don’t realise their dog is overweight, or are reluctant to remedy the problem, perhaps thinking it’s not that important. However, it is extremely important. Obesity in dogs can cause early aging and general health & fitness problems. Many dogs that are overweight struggle to enjoy a normal level of exercise. Often the owners think this is because the dog is getting older, or no longer a puppy, or other medical problems are the cause. However, in many cases it is the obesity itself that is restricting the dog’s ability to lead a normal, active life. We have seen dogs who visit the pool, lose weight through swimming, in conjunction with a food restriction programme. More often than not, these dogs have not only increased their stamina & enjoyment in the pool but also on walks, having a re-newed enjoyment for life.
