Labrador's weight loss strategy, keep your mouth shut and take your legs open!

As the old saying goes, if you don't lose weight in March, you will be sad in April. If you don't lose weight in April, you will be sad in May. If you don't lose weight in May, you will be fat in a year. So, when you are busy losing weight, you should pay more attention to a little dog who is fat in winter!

One Why lose weight?

First of all, it must be bad for the body. Once the dog is overweight, the joint burden will increase, and it is prone to walking pain or other joint problems. It will also increase the burden on the heart and other organs.

Secondly, the dog himself is not happy. Can't run, can't jump high, can't breathe after two steps, can't catch up with his little friend, no one plays with him.
Finally, it is not beautiful. Originally a valiant and heroic dog, the result is as fat as a ball, who will shake their heads when they see it?
October was ordered to lose weight, mainly because the doctor in October said that his joints were born bad, and now it is dangerous to be fat again. October's body length (from the tip of the nose to the root of the tail) is 100 cm, the body height (from the sole of the foot to the top of the head) is 72m, and the weight was 82 kg at that time. And his physical strength began to get worse and he couldn't catch up with other friends, so I immediately made up my mind to lose weight for him.

During the peak period of 82 Jin, look at the back of the tiger and the waist of the bear, and the neck is gone, which makes me so small.

Two Ways to lose weight

How to lose weight is certainly nothing to say, keep your mouth shut and open your legs, as we all know, and the doctor told me not to lose too fast in order to pursue the effect, it is best to lose 3-5% of the original weight every month, so the weight of more than 80 pounds in October can only lose about 2-4 pounds every month. The ideal weight in October is about 64 kilograms, so my goal is 18 kilograms. Knowing my goal, I began to implement the weight loss plan.

1. Keep your mouth shut

Dog food: Every month, reduce 30g of dog food per meal. If you reduce too much at once, you will be too hungry in October. Too much hunger is not good for your health. It will also cause him to go out and look for food everywhere. In October, the dog food was reduced from 250g per meal to 220g per meal, and still maintained two meals a day. The dog food was then switched from a high fat dog food to a slightly lower fat dog food (I chose to switch from Cravings to Fresh Instinct), and the fish and eggs that were mixed with the dog food every day remained (which was better for the fur).

The picture above is before losing weight. There are cooked deep-sea fish, milk powder, canned food, dog food and so on. The

picture below shows that when losing weight, only deep-sea fish and calcium powder are retained.

Snacks: After all, I can act cute, so I can always eat snacks in October. As soon as my little eyes blink, I can't help giving a little. Now I want to lose weight. My husband and I have reached an agreement to give less snacks. The fish and meat I always gave before have been reduced by two-thirds, but I am afraid that he will lose his temper without snacks, so I have increased carrots, cucumbers, apples and other fruit and vegetable snacks (this depends on the specific situation. Some dogs are intolerant to fruits and vegetables, so it is not recommended. One third of the small jerky reserved was also used to let him exercise as a reward.

When you lose weight, eat some baby carrots when you are hungry.

2. Open your legs.

More exercise is definitely necessary, I chose the tour catch and swimming these two, because in October like to play ball also like swimming, play enough of the kind of, exercise intensity is also slowly increasing, the first month of my program is to play ball every day for half an hour, walk for an hour (this he has adapted since childhood, so the intensity is not big), regularly go swimming for two hours (every 40 minutes). Attention should be paid to avoiding noon in summer, choosing morning and evening, avoiding morning and evening in winter, and choosing sunny afternoon.

Usually, I will take him to climb mountains, walk around, and do command training. Anyway, if he can move, he will not lie down.

TIPS

Need to insist, I know it's cold in winter and hot in summer, and the host is very busy, but it's important to insist. After

losing weight, we should also pay attention to keeping it. Don't let go of eating and not exercising when you see it. Dogs rebound very quickly. You can consult a doctor about
exercise and diet, which has always been guided by a doctor in October.
Finally, I wish you all can make your little cutie thin and beautiful before the heat comes!
