Synopsis
Obesity in animals is a growing problem, with more pets than ever taking after their increasingly overweight owners. As with humans, the dog that has too many treats can have serious problems as their health suffers, and their quality of life deteriorates. Excess weight puts pressure on the heart and lungs and a fat dog can even harm itself, particularly if a drooping stomach grazes on the floor. Help is at hand, though, with "Fat Dog Slim", the first book to take a holistic approach to the health of your dog, offering advice on how to maintain fitness through regular exercise, a balanced diet and discipline at the dinner table. Dogs aren't happy when deprived of exercise and overfed. He or she may feel sluggish and irritable and not want to socialise with the family. With the right information, however, you can restore your dog to bouncing health. "Fat Dog Thin" provides all you need to know about exercise, diet and disease-avoidance, as well as specific information tailored to the size and breed of your pet.
Containing expert advice on assessing your dog's health and how to provide a balanced diet, this book will ensure your dog trims down, shapes up and enjoys life with more energy, vitality and health.
