There are millions of people who call their dogs their babies. And why not the unconditional love and loyalty your dog shows are matchless. You adore them, hold them in your arms, and shower them with lavish treats when you find them cute. To some extent, anthropomorphizing dogs is good as it can help you emotionally connect with the pet. However, your excessive love can cause severe physical harm, like obesity.
As per global data, the rate of obesity in dogs varies from 24 to 44 percent. In the U.S., pet obesity is considered an epidemic as nearly 50 percent of dogs who come for treatment in different hospitals are overweight. Unfortunately, like humans, obesity brings a range of health problems with itself. Dogs can suffer from joint pain, osteoarthritis, diabetes, cancer, heart diseases, bladder stones, and many other issues. A study shows that more weight can cut life by about 2.5 years than a normal-weight dog.
