· Arthritis
Weight puts pressure on joints, causing them to wear down faster. Arthritis can also make dogs less likely to exercise, which can lead to a cycle of more eating, sleeping, and laying around.
· Respiratory problems
Excess fat in the chest can prevent the lungs from fully expanding, while fat in the abdomen can push up against the diaphragm. This makes it harder for the lungs to supply oxygen, especially when exercising.
· Skin conditions
Excess fat on your dog’s body can be a sign of being overweight. You can check for fat sacks between their legs, or inspect their hips while petting them.
· Heart disease
Increased body fat can lead to higher blood pressure, which can cause congestive heart failure. The heart also has to work harder to pump blood to excess tissues.
· Diabetes
Obesity increases insulin resistance in dogs, which can lead to diabetes. Diabetes is a serious health risk that requires ongoing treatment.
· Cancer
Studies suggest that obese dogs may have an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer, including urinary bladder cancer and mammary tumors.
· Liver Disease
Long-term obesity can lead to a fatty liver, which is a main cause of liver disease in dogs.
· Overall Wellbeing
Simply put, your dog will feel better and be happier at a healthy weight. They are much less likely to suffer a premature death.
