Obesity is a silent disease that strikes not just hoomans, but dogs, too.
While we can discipline ourselves by going on a diet and exercising at the gym, it’s not easy to discipline dogs.
Obesity can kill your dog, and that’s the ugly truth. If you notice any sign of your dog putting on too much weight too fast, you should immediately consult your vet and put your dog on a special regime.
If these dogs succeeded, then your pup will, too. All it takes is strong will power and your own discipline because your dog won’t eat unless you feed him. So, choose wisely what and how much you feed your dog.
