Monitor Your Pet’s Weight  

It’s essential for your pet to lose weight in a controlled and healthy manner. To ensure the weight loss pace is normal, you should regularly weigh your pooch. Utilize a weight monitoring chart to track progress and regularly assess your pet’s health score. You can buy a scale and stand on it holding your pet. Subtract your weight to get your dog’s weight. 

Include Physical Activity

Your pet’s weight management schedule should be permanent. After your pooch achieves their ideal weight, you should start a weight maintenance program comprising proper nutrition and regular exercise.

Factors that Influence Weight Gain

Factors that Influence Weight Gain

A few factors play a role in predisposing dogs to weight gain which makes it even more crucial to help them maintain an ideal weight. Breeds like Saint Bernards, Scottish terriers, cocker spaniels, Labrador retrievers, pugs, and beagles are more prone to weight gain than others. Female and neutered dogs also put on weight more easily. Elements like breed, age, health state, food selection, and others can determine the pace of weight gain in your dog. 

 

Diet for Your Dog 

Diet for Your Dog

Consult your vet about the best foods for your pooch and the quantity of each serving. Take into account the calorific value and energy density of each food. Your pet’s diet should be high in protein to improve muscle mass and moderate in fat to avoid weight addition. Feed them high-fiber treats as these would make them feel fuller and avoid consuming larger portions. 

Practice Sound Feeding Behaviors

Practice Sound Feeding Behaviors

Encourage your dog to practice good eating habits so they can maintain an ideal weight. Give the meals at the same time, place, and bowl to help them get used to designating mealtimes. Don’t feed them scraps or snacks when they seek food at other times. 

To sum up, it’s important to help your dog maintain a healthy and ideal weight as it would boost their quality of life and reduce their vulnerability to obesity-related conditions.
