If the dog is really too fat, the owner can buy special weight-loss dog food. Note that many dogs do not eat diet dog food, so as an owner, you must show a "leader" spirit. You have to eat even if you don’t want to eat. Don’t pamper your dog too much, otherwise it will only make you fatter.
The dog's weight loss plan is to feed the dog 40% of the calories needed to maintain the target weight every day for 12-14 weeks. Divide food into two or three small portions each day. This reduces hunger and allows each meal to be fully consumed. During the weight loss phase, dogs are bound to feel hungry. No matter how pitiful it looks begging for food, you cannot give it to it, and you must educate your friends.
To control starch intake, many owners will give their dogs some white rice. In fact, dogs can eat white rice, but they should not eat too much. The starch in white rice will make dogs gain weight. If a pet dog does not eat dog food for many months and only eats white rice, then there is no doubt that it is a fat dog.
Although it is impossible for most animals to lose weight through exercise alone, a gradual increase in exercise should be encouraged. Never force a severely overweight dog to exercise excessively, as this may put unbearable stress on the heart and lungs. For dogs that exceed 25% of their target weight, they should be taken for a slow walk every day. Be careful not to let your dog get extra food by picking food in the wild, hunting for food, or begging from neighbors.
