Teach Your Dog

Do You know how much food your dog really needs?

Dogs are suffering from obesity just like humans from eating the wrong food and eating too much food.

You need to control the amount of food your dog is eating and you must watch the weight of your dog
on a regular basis to make sure that he does not become overweight.

Dogs can suffer, as humans do, from a variety of ailments due to obesity, including diabetes.
There is an increasing number of dogs suffering from this disease and in most cases, it can be
avoided through the correct nutrition and monitoring the amount of food your dog eats.

A dog with diabetes will need medication to assist in the maintenance of their blood sugar
levels. Obviously, this involves additional inconvenience and expense, but there is also the
risk of death if the insulin levels are incorrect.

Just like humans, dogs should only eat what is good for them and in quantities that won’t
result in health problems later in their lives.

Dogs that work will need a bit more food for the energy that they will expend in the course of
their day, but a dog that lays around all day and doesn’t exercise much will not need to eat the
same portions of food.

Again, you should check your dog’s weight regularly and see if it is gaining or losing weight and
adjust the amount of food accordingly.
