there are three parts or three components that will help your dog to
lose weight part one or number one component is diet I call this the
internal part of the formula the reason for that is because whenever a dog eats
it's internally helping it either to get healthy or not so the food that the dog
eats will help the dog either to lose weight
or to gain weight first of all we have to understand that whatever we've been
feeding our dog it has helped our dog to gain weight so in order for us to help
our dog to lose that weight you have to change the diet to be honest with you
most dogs who are overweight are either eating bad food like kibble or dry food
or they're eating too much of it so they are overfed of a bad food so in general
we have to change the diet so whatever diet your dog is on you have to
understand that that hasn't helped your dog to lose weight so you have to make
some changes modifications you even have to maybe change the whole diet so what I
mean by changing the whole diet is if your dog is on kibble or dry food you may
want to think about changing it to home-cooked diet or raw diet or some
other kind of diet that you can figure out and learn and provide that kind of diet
for your dog I will link a video of a diet that I suggest to feed our dogs and
it's called species-appropriate diet in the description
bellow the second component of this formula is
fitness or physical activity I call this the the external / internal component so the
first thing that you want to do is start exercising your dog a little bit more
than what you are providing at the moment so I will suggest to start slow
add just 5 more minutes of exercise to your dog's daily exercise so if you've
been exercising your dog for 30 minutes add another 5 minutes and make it 35
minutes for about a week just remember that your dog is overweight and if you
provide extreme form of exercise physical activity for your dog at this
stage you will cause some major health issues and physical damages as long as
your dog can push five more minutes extra it would be great and if you're
going to start combining your dog's activity exercise with you I would
suggest to take it easy a little bit and start combining a little bit of high
intensive activity like running or jogging and then break and then low
intensive activity like walking and then add another form of high intensive
activity to it so don't just run all the way make sure that you're running and
giving giving your dog a little bit of break by walking and then running again
short bursts of running or jogging and then a lot of walking at the beginning
the third part the last final part of this component or formula is lifestyle
believe it or not if your dog is overweight is stressed as well being
overweight it will cause your dog to have physical emotional and behavioral
stress it's normal it will just happen because when they are overweight they
have a hard time moving and walking and being active so that
causes them to be stressed in a way internally and emotionally they're not
happy and when you start change their lifestyle you will see that your dog's
health and overall behavior and emotional attitude is going to be
changing as well you want to start creating and developing a new form of
healthy lifestyle for your dog if you follow these three tips and three
components and improve them you're going to see that your dog's life is going to
improve dramatically it's going to leave healthier and happier if you like this
