In winter, due to severe frosts or, conversely, dampness and slush, it is not possible to walk your dog outside for a long time.
While a person can find ways to maintain an active lifestyle, the dog at this time accumulates fat and extra pounds, which is not good for the pet's health.
The head of the Russian Cynological Federation, Vladimir Golubev, told AGN "Moscow" about how to help an animal maintain a healthy lifestyle in winter.
Excess weight is harmful to all living beings, and winter only contributes to its accumulation.
The kilograms accumulate because most of the free time has to be spent at home due to bad weather conditions.
During the winter, the dog may not only get fat, but also become lazy. As a result, when spring comes, the dog will begin to refuse long walks.
Therefore, you should think about your pet's diet and choose low-calorie food.
Such a decision can only be made after consulting a veterinarian.
Dogs that live on the street do not have this problem.
In this case, a few extra kilos will only benefit the animal. But you still need to insulate the booth and enclosure.
