The majority of dog owners need reminding from time to time that their loving pooch is not human! We all talk to them as if they are and treat them as such, and yet we sometimes do not seem to realise that it is not good for them, especially where feeding them is concerned. Overweight dogs do not live as long or have as healthy a life as those within their correct weight range so you should be sure that you are choosing the right diet for your dog.

As well as the correct diet, it's important to weigh your dog regularly to track their progress! With COVID-19 still hanging over us, we are of course being forced to wait outside the vet's office for our little furry-babies. Checking your dog's weight at home, whilst following the dietary advice of your vet is crucial! This also means weighing out your dog's food. It may be time to invest in some animal scales.
