"Can a DOG be an OBESE?"

Yes to both your questions. Dogs should be on a meat diet only, not rice or other grains.

Yes, dogs can be obese and they can experience the same health problems as humans.

Preiti was obese but now she has slimmed down a lot. As you now she stops eating for days until I give her a drip and then gets back to eating again.

yes they can to both question.Rice is very fattening.Have you talk to your vet on this.

Yes a dog is just like anybody else. A dog can get fat. My largest dog had surgery on both of her knees. She gained weight. The Vet said that she must get that fat off those repaired knees. I found dog food that has less calories in it and now she is slimmer and will live a longer, better life.

First try more exercise, but as dogs get older they won't be as active and you need to scale their caloric intake back accordingly...

My dog needs to lose weight too. It bothers me because I want her to live a long life. I'm trying to feed her a little less, and get her a little more exercise.

My mother-in-law had a dog that was obese, and she didn't manage to change it. Our own dog doesn't have that problem. He eats quite a lot, but his weight stays the same (we know that because the vet writes down the weight every year when our dog gets his check-up)

yes dogs can get obese. especially if they get spayed/neutered. or fed food from the table. or are not taken out daily to walk and run for an hour or two. thier food can also make them fat, if all it does is make them hungry again in an hour.

@Shavkat Yes animals can be obese. Sophie has been fat and then lost weight and fat again. She is my cat but she can also get fat. When I had my dog and cat that I had before Sophie I fed them together and they both were fat and I did not want to do that to Sophie but I did. I only feed her cat food and sometimes I guess i feed too much. I keep telling her we can run around the apartment or walk together but she does not answer.

I have seen a lot of videos on Facebook about cute dogs and some of them are too obese. Seeing them I think they can.

Yes, a dog can struggle with these things. It would be a good idea to consult a vet on the matter. They will likely give you some recommendations on foods to help your dog trim down to a healthier weight.

Yes, I am sure they can be obese just like us...and probably have a heart attack...so good to take care of them just as ourselves.

Yes dogs can be obese too. Always take time to play with your dogs or give her an activity that would make her move like running or walking and treat her with fruits or veggies.

Yes they can get unhealthily fat like us. When that happens you should alow him to exercise. Dogs love to walk and they should not be sedentary at all since that is what causes them to be fat. When the dogs become slow and sedentary then it just means he's not on the healthy side of things anymore.

They can--I've seen some dogs that were obviously way bigger than they should have been.

Yes they can get fat and affect their kidneys and end up with some disease. Labs are known for this.

Get him out for walks and runs more

i prepare the dog food and although i add rice, their 'ulam' should also be enough for their rice. our dogs are not fat but they are well-built.

I have never seen a dog that I can say is too fat
