Obesity: a serious problem for our dogs
Canine obesity is an increasing problem and the consequences of excess body fat in our dogs should be a priority to consider. Today we can say that 35% of our dogs are obese, one of the major causes of this disorder is attributed to castration or sterilization, with a higher number of cases in middle aged dogs.
The metabolism changes produced by sterilization are usually increased food consumption along with the decrease in activity levels. Sex also influences weight gain: in this case females tend to accumulate more fat.
