Get your dog bikini-ready
Extra corona weight is not only a phenomenon among humans, many of our dogs have also gained a few pounds in recent years. After all, those who work from home can also treat the dog to a treat (or two) more often. As a result, the professional association for veterinarians sees more and more obese dogs. Here are a few tips to get your dog back into shape.
Good weight or not?
It can sometimes be quite complicated to find out whether a dog is overweight or not. Often the dog is at a good weight if you can feel the ribs under a thin layer of fat. Are the ribs harder to feel? Do you feel a thick layer of fat? Then you need to take action, because an overweight dog has a greater risk of diabetes, heart disease, skin problems, breathing difficulties and arthritis. A dog that is overweight often gets tired faster during walks, doesn’t keep up games as long, gets easily overheated during hot weather and keeps begging for more food.
Eat less
In essence, it is very simple: those who want to lose weight should exercise more and eat less. On each bag of dog food it says how much of this particular food the dog can eat each day. Stick to that and ignore the dog’s questioning eyes. This also means: no more snacks – although vegetables are allowed of course. Please note that castrated dogs need up to one third less food. Of course, there are special diet foods that ensure that the dog gets all the important vitamins and minerals and quiets the appetite. There are also products on the market that help promote weight loss, but these types of waste diets do cause the volume of stool to increase. This means that dogs also need to go outside more often.
Exercise more
More exercise is essential for an overweight dog. A food ball will get even the laziest dog up and running. Also, most dogs are definitely up for a game like frisbee or fetch. Alternate the usual walk with a bit of cycling or an extra walk around the block. Just make sure you have some sturdy gear to counterbalance overly lazy dogs. With the new Comfort Walk Go by DOG Copenhagen, for example, the dog can keep trying to sit still or pull in the direction of home, because this lightweight 3D harness prevents the dog from coughing or gagging. Is the dog much too heavy? In that case, swimming is much better and safer than walking. This way, the joints are relieved. Afterwards you can quickly dry your dog with the Doggy Dry from EQDOG.
Bikini-ready together
Did you also gain some extra corona weight? Then the Orbiloc K9 Active Pack might be something for you. This set of Orbiloc Safety Lights is specially made for dog and owner. With these safety lights from Orbiloc you are both visible in traffic and you can safely go on the road together. For example, if you go for an extra walk or run together. The Orbiloc K9 Active Pack consists of an Orbiloc Dog Dual with amber light (including holder for attachment to dog harness or collar) for the dog and an Orbiloc Run Dual with dark-colored light (including clip and bracelet), which you wear on your arm.
More tips
Helping dogs lose weight therefore starts with getting them to exercise more. A reliable leash, collar and/or harness can be very helpful. And at NOHO agency we know exactly which one works best for which type of dog. Our brands offer different options. Do you need advice?
