It's estimated that over 56% of dogs are overweight*. A dog's body condition has a big impact on it's health and quality of life so keep an eye on your pooch's weight.

Dogs carrying extra weight may have shorter lifespans and have an increased risk of serious health conditions including heart disease, joint and mobility problems, and are at greater risk during surgeries.

Signs your dog is overweight

A primary reason why dogs are overweight is overfeeding.

No clear waist or abdominal “tuck”. Difficulty when feeling for your dog’s ribs. Waddling when walking. Getting tired easily or reluctance to exercise*.

*Getting tired easily when exercising or reluctance to exercise can also be a sign of your dog carrying too much weight, but may indicate other health issues too, so it's best to take your pooch to the vet if these signs concern you.
