What Is Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice Lite Dog Food?

Overweight dogs have become very common in the world. Canine obesity has increased exponentially in the last few years, with overreaching impacts on canine health. Obesity can negatively affect your dog's quality of life and can result in a vast number of medical issues like diabetes and osteoarthritis.

Why Is Being Overweight So Bad for Dogs?

Being overweight not only opens your dog to the risk of developing medical problems but shortens your dog's life. Dogs who are at a healthy weight live for 2 years longer on average than an overweight dog. Overweight dogs are at the risk of developing more age-related illnesses than healthy dogs.

Joints are some of the most commonly impacted areas in an overweight dog. The excess weight puts excess strain on the cartilage in the joints, eroding them faster, and priming your dog to develop arthritis. Dogs who already have arthritis can hasten the progression of this disease if they are obese.

The risk of getting a slipped disc increases along with your dog's weight. This is especially true of high-risk breeds like Miniature Dachshunds. A silent killer in overweight dogs is inflammation, which exposes your dog to the risk of developing a host of other illnesses.

The extra weight puts pressure on your dog's heart and lungs. The heart struggles to pump blood under the additional stress, and the lungs struggle to oxygenate the blood. Obesity has been linked to incidences of heart disease, tracheal collapse, and reduction in respiratory function.
