As the saying goes, every good time To save weight by three kilograms, visiting relatives and friends during the New Year is indispensable for eating and drinking, and weight loss naturally goes straight up the body. Even our dogs are not immune to it. Therefore, the biggest task of owners after the Chinese New Year is to help their dogs lose weight. However, , You cannot blindly lose weight for dogs, you must use appropriate methods.
1. Develop a weight loss plan and eat weight loss food
1. Feeding "weight loss food" to reduce calories absorbs the way humans lose weight, making it easier to It is to reduce the diet, or to eat only green vegetables and fruits. However, this prohibitive way of losing weight cannot be implemented on dogs, because for dogs, "eating" is a kind of talent. Although people can achieve it through perseverance, To control eating habits, however, dogs cannot use reduced food portions to achieve weight loss; if they cannot follow their normal food intake, the dog will feel hungry, and he cannot control the feeling of hunger by himself, and his desire to eat will become more and more frequent. The excitement grew, forcing him to continue searching everywhere for all the food he could eat, leaving nothing behind, and the result was even worse! Therefore, when dogs lose weight, the most important thing is not to change the food portion, but they can feed the dog a weight loss prescription. The particle size of weight-loss feed is no different from that of ordinary feed. However, the fiber in these feeds is reduced, giving the dog a feeling of bulging legs, but the calories are not so high. Therefore, with the weight-loss formula feed, it can maintain The dog's food intake reduces his calories, thereby achieving the purpose of making the dog lose weight. In addition, don't be soft-hearted and give too many snacks because you feel pity for it, causing the heat absorption to increase instead of decreasing.
2. The selected feeding plan should be implemented for at least two weeks, and then the feed should be further reduced based on the results. The dog's weight loss plan is to feed 40% of the calories needed to maintain body weight every day for 12-14 weeks. Divide food into two or three small portions every day. This can reduce the feeling of hunger and allow each meal to be fully consumed.

Only by consuming a certain amount and giving the dog a regular amount of exercise time every day can the effect of making him lose weight be achieved. For small dogs, when the physical condition is stable, they should have a 20-minute slow walk every day and night; it is simple.For dogs, regular walking exercise of 30 to 40 minutes should be maintained twice a day, which can increase calorie consumption and reduce physical strength through exercise.

Four. Pay attention to the situation of dogs and Emotion

Factors in case that even though you strictly implement the weight loss plan, he still finds ways to take advantage of it and happily eats without any control! If you have more than 2 or 3 dogs, you must carefully separate them when feeding. Is the food eaten by the same dog, or is it shared by everyone? Because when raising 2 or 3 dogs at the same time, there must be one dog that is more prosperous and dominates the "boss" role. When this dog eats things, it is likely to bully other dogs, grab food, Eat more, and if you don't pay attention, he will eat double or even triple the amount! Therefore, when feeding, pay attention to the appearance of different "food tyrants".

In order to make the dog perform well, the owner has specially trained him with great care and given him a lot of nutrients. He has been raised since he was a child. Strong and fat..., but it was only when he was raised to about 6 years old that the owner discovered that Duoduo had lost weight without knowing it, so he sought help from a doctor, hoping to help Duoduo lose weight in the next few years.
