Winter time is fraught with gaining extra pounds both for people - during the New Year holidays - and for their pets.
Pets are almost unaffected by the holidays. For example, dogs move less in winter, so they may already have weight problems.
Excess weight is bad for any dog. In winter, it is not only humans who tend to gain kilograms. Most often, pets move less during the cold season, spend more time at home and beg for food, - cynologist Vladimir Golubev told AGN "Moscow".
Therefore, during the cold season, you should not overfeed dogs.
Due to high-calorie diet and decreased physical activity, the dog may gain weight.
Excess weight will affect both the animal’s appearance and its well-being, the specialist reminds.
But this does not mean that the pet's portion should be cut at all costs. The main thing is to monitor the dog's activity.
You also need to make sure that your pet feels comfortable during walks outside.
