Dog Obesity Gordon Roberts Bvsc Mrcvs

Obesity for Dogs is a detailed guide on everything dog owners need to know about canine obesity. In this country, where nearly half of our dogs are over their ideal weight, it would be criminal not to expose the realities of obesity in our dogs, so here it is. You'll get a good gist of what obesity is, what it involves and all the possible causes of the problem, which are not just limited to diet and exercise, but could be due to other underlying reasons that not everyone will be aware of. An obese dog doesn't just look large - this guide involves various signs and symptoms to watch out for in order to recognise weight complications in your pooch. There is also a dedicated chapter to the many health problems and diseases that are linked with obesity, some of which cause a lot of pain and discomfort, as well as serious and sometimes fatal problems with your dog's vital organs. Obesity can be avoided, but an already obese dog still has plenty of hope. Thanks to prevention and treatment tips given in this guide, you will be taking one step closer to maintaining a healthy dog. The dieting chapter also highlights the important points of putting an obese dog on a weight loss diet. You may come across a leaflet or a small article on the internet about canine obesity, but this guide really gets to the bottom of this worryingly common problem involving not only the dog, but the dog owner's approach to looking after their pet. It is the dog owners who are the main culprits of obesity in dogs, but thankfully you are likely to make some wonderful changes after reading this book.
