Obesity Is A Serious Threat To The Health Of Your Dog

Obesity Is A Serious Threat To The Health Of Your Dog

Obesity is one of the greatest health concerns facing our pets. It can cause unnecessary suffering and shortened lifespan. Your dog depends on you ... help him live the healthiest life possible.

Obesity and extra weight puts pets at risk for certain health problems including diabetes, joint dysfunction, orthopedic problems, heart disease and stroke. According to a 2000 Gallup Survey, obesity/weight management is the second highest health problem faced by pet owners, with an estimated 15 million obese dogs in the United States.

Obesity among dogs and cats is one of the leading nutritional diseases. Many veterinarians believe it is the greatest health issue facing America’s pets. The following health concerns may occur as a result of obesity:

Joint or locomotion difficulties ... Extra pounds puts added stress on joints, bones, ligaments and muscles. Conditions such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, disk disease and ligament ruptures may be caused or aggravated by obesity.

Heart and Respiratory Disease ... Heart and lungs have to work harder to provide adequate oxygen and circulation. Also, extra fat in the chest cavity and around the heart muscle can decrease the efficiency of the heart and lungs.

Diabetes ... Just like people, diabetes is much more common in obese dogs and cats.

Liver Disease ... Obese animals are prone to liver disease.

Heat Intolerance ... Insulating properties of excessive fat make obese animals uncomfortable and unable to tolerate heat.

Skin Problems ... Obese animals often have trouble grooming themselves. The rolls of skin built up by fat deposits can often harbor dirt, bacteria and other harmful organisms.

Gastrointestinal Disorder ... Pancreatitis is seen all too often in obese dogs. This condition is painful and life threatening.

Why did Dr. Jane Bicks develop Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food?

In formulating Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food for Dogs, Dr. Bicks set out to create a weight loss food in a class by itself. She wanted dogs to be able to lose weight safely, without the usual problems typical weight loss foods on the market today can cause such as loss of vitality, poor skin and coat and unmanageable stools. To accomplish her goal, each ingredient had to pass a rigorous selection process for quality, effectiveness and the ability to work synergistically with each other to enhance the total nutritional value. The ingredients in Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food For Dogs are the same wholesome foods you buy at the supermarket. The result of her hard work is an exceptional food that will help your dog:

Lose unwanted extra pounds

Maintain lean muscle tissue

Attain a shiny, healthy coat

Build & maintain a strong defense system

Provide the energy and overall good health to enjoy life to its fullest!

Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food Diet Feeding Guide

Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food formula is concentrated, so you don't need as much as you would of other types of food.

The exact amount of food needed for your dog will vary according to age, temperament, activity level and environment. Start by feeding the recommended amount below based on your dog’s actual weight, not the desired weight. These feeding amounts are guidelines and may need to be adjusted (increased or decreased) to achieve your goal. Weight loss should not exceed 1% of your dog’s total body weight weekly, unless recommended by your veterinarian. (For example, if your dog weighs 50 pounds, a 1% weight loss would be one-half of a pound.) Once you decide on a feeding amount, we suggest you divide that amount into two to four small meals and feed over the course of a day. When switching to
Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food For Dogs, gradually feed less of your previous food and more of Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food over a one week period to complete the transition.

Current Weight	Feeding Recommendation
3 to 10 lbs.	1/3 to 3/4 cup
10 to 20 lbs.	3/4 to 1 1/3 cups
20 to 30 lbs.	1 1/3 to 1 3/4 cups
30 to 40 lbs.	1 3/4 to 2 1/4 cups
40 to 60 lbs.	2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups
60 to 80 lbs.	2 3/4 to 3 3 1/3 cups
80 to 100 lbs.	3 1/3 to 3 3/4 cups
Over 100 lbs.	3 3/4 cups + 1/4 cups for each 10 lbs. of body weight over 100 lbs.

How to Introduce Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food To Your Dog

Change food gradually. Dogs' bodies and minds get accustomed to their food. Changing too suddenly might cause diarrhea and/or vomiting. Add small amounts of Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food, perhaps 5-10 nuggets the first day, to the regular food. Note that whatever the amount of Life's Abundance Weight Loss Dog Food you add, you must subtract from their regular food. Increase to 15-20 nuggets of Life's Abundance Weight Loss Food the next week and watch for signs of loose stool due to the change in diet. If everything looks normal, increase to 1/8 of a cup and so on. Start to expect steady weight loss about a month after the successful conversion.

Weight Loss - Steps To Success!

(Always check with your Vet prior to starting your dog on any weight reduction plan)

Weigh your dog. Set a weight loss goal. Feed the proper amount of Life's Abundance Weight Loss Dog Food and adjust accordingly. Exercise daily (not to exceed veterinarian recommendations). Avoid table scraps and an excess number of high calorie treats. Track weight loss progress weekly. Remember, a quick weight loss is not healthy so be sure your dog is getting enough food and that he loses weight slowly.

Tip: Always look at your dog from the rear, check his ribs and you want to see a "waistline."

Ideal Weight Overweight

Viewed from the side, belly has minimal or no tuck. Viewed from above, no waist in front of the hips.

Is Your Overweight Dog Eating Too Fast?

Slower eating makes your dog feel full faster. Overweight dogs usually eat too fast. By slowing down the
dog’s eating process to a healthy and moderate pace, this problem can be eradicated. When a dog eats
too fast, he or she can choke, swallow so much air that they vomit or even develop bloat, which can be
life threatening. Preventing your dog from eating too fast is an important part of properly caring for your
pet.

Here are some recommendations you can try:

1. One very easy way to prevent your dog from eating too quickly is to place a large rock (be CERTAIN it
is too large for the dog to eat) in the center of their food dish. Some people use 2 or 3 large rocks if your
dish is large enough. This will cause the dog to have to work around the rock to get the food. Be sure to
clean the rock before and after use in the dishwasher.

2. Consider changing your dog's food bowl to Skid Stop Slow Feed Bowl.
Skid Stop Slow Feed Bowl is a heavy duty plastic bowl designed to slow rapid eating, promote regular digestion and prevent bloating and discomfort. Designed with a rubbery base to prevent slippage while pet is eating. Dishwasher safe, rust and bacteria resistant.
