Lots of health problems can be caused by overfeeding.
Some of the health issues can be caused by or worsened by being obese,
diabetes,
arthritis,
skin problems,
respiratory problems,
worsened fatigue,
higher anesthetic risk,
shortened life span.
There was a study show that a group of overfed dogs lived 2 years shorter on average compare to another group of dogs fed with same diet but less in quantity.
Actually overfeeding is not only a problem for dogs, but for all pets. People need to learn what true love (for pets) is. While they might think they are showing more love by feeding the pets more food, it is in fact harming their health. When their life span is shortened, they don't just go without suffering.
