How can I control my dog weight after spaying?

Dogs after neutering must be given proper amount of feeding. Maintaining a quality diet is the key to weight control, but do not over-supplement the dog. Because weight control is very important for dogs after ligation. Usually, the number of overweight dogs after ligation is twice that of ordinary dogs.

There may be many reasons for the dog to gain weight after sterilization, and there are different reasons for different genders:

1. Male dogs

Before neutering of male dogs, In order to find a mate, it will consume a lot of physical strength; after ligation, the male dog does not need to find the female dog, although the opportunity to consume physical strength is reduced, but the calorie intake has not decreased. Therefore, after male dogs are neutered, the accumulation of fat tends to increase due to reduced calorie consumption.

The way to improve is to increase the amount of exercise the male dog does after ligation. After surgery, male dogs tend to become more lazy and less active due to the decrease in hormones. At this time, the dog owner should force the male dog to do some games and walks every day. It is also a good way to walk the dog more.

2. Bitches

The weight gain of bitches after ligation mostly comes from the changes of body hormones after surgery. In addition, the secretion of estrogen can suppress appetite for some dog breeds.

In addition, some dog breeds are genetically breeds prone to obesity. For example, Labrador, Coca, Shaggy Sausage, Shetland, etc. And after the ligation, the easy-to-fat physique will be more obvious.

A ligated dog will eat too fast if he doesn't restrict his food intake. Studies have pointed out that ligated dogs need to use low calorie to maintain their ideal weight; in addition, dog owners should also pay attention to observe the degree of fatness of the bitch. When you cannot easily touch the ribs of the bitch, you know that the dog is overweight. A lot of activity is required.

The way to lose weight is: 1. Reduce calorie intake; 2. Increase the number of activities, or both. If you find obese dogs difficult to comply, it is a good idea to consult a pet physician.
