Transformation Tuesday 😍 Check out the AMAZING job gorgeous Coppa’s owners have achieved! This beautiful boy was carrying a lot of extra weight, but with a careful diet plan, Coppa has achieved an incredible weight loss that is going to help him feel so much better 🥰
Is your dog carrying a little extra weight? It matters more than you think! 🐶
We all love giving our dogs treats, sharing a little of what’s on our plate and seeing those happy faces at dinner time… but even a few extra kilos can have a big impact on their health.
✨ Keeping your dog at an ideal body weight can help:
🦴 Protect their joints – Less weight means less strain on hips, knees and other joints, which can help reduce the progression and discomfort associated with arthritis and orthopaedic conditions.
❤️ Support heart and respiratory health – Carrying excess weight makes the heart and lungs work harder, particularly during exercise.
🏃♀️ Improve mobility and energy – Leaner dogs often move more comfortably, play more easily and have greater stamina.
🩺 Reduce the risk of health problems – Obesity is associated with conditions including diabetes, orthopaedic disease, breathing difficulties and reduced exercise tolerance.
🌡️ Help with heat tolerance – This is especially important here in Queensland! Overweight dogs can struggle more in warm weather and are at greater risk of overheating.
🧬 Improve quality and potentially length of life – Maintaining a healthy body condition can help dogs stay active and comfortable for longer. And it has been proven that dogs at an ideal body weight can live up to two years longer!
And here’s the important part…
❤️ Weight loss doesn’t have to mean your dog is hungry or miserable!
A properly planned weight-loss program can include measured meals, healthy low-calorie treats, enrichment activities and plenty of exercise, while still allowing your dog to enjoy their food.
If you’re not sure whether your dog is carrying too much weight, ask us! Body condition isn’t simply about what the scales say. Breed, body shape and muscle mass all matter, and we can help assess your dog’s ideal body condition and weight.
🐕 A few extra kilos might look cute, but a healthy weight helps your dog live their best life.
