RE: Obesity on Dogs: A Lurking Treat To Our Buddies
Some dogs seem to gain weight easier than other dogs; but even taking that into consideration, the main reason they seem to gain weight is lack of exercise and too much food to eat. Low quality food that is full of corn is also a main reason for dogs gaining weight.
Corn is what we feed pigs to fatten them up for market; so obviously it is not going to be helpful for keeping your dog fit and trim. Mot dog foods have corn as one of the main ingredients; so finding a better quality of dog food will help a whole lot to keep the dog's weight where it belongs.
Exercise is also important, and they need to either be out in the yard to run and play, or to go for a nice walk every day.
Of course, older dogs are not able to be as active as younger dogs; just like people can't do as much when they get older; so it is a lot more likely that they will gain weight. Senior dog food is a great thing for your older dog, and will given them the higher nutrients without the grain products what tend to make them gain weight.
