Did you know that up to 65% of dogs in Germany are overweight? Pet owners often don't realize how serious the consequences can be. Excess weight can lead to many problems – for example joint diseases, cardiovascular problems, diabetes or bladder stones. All of this affects your favorite's quality of life and can cause pain. In dogs, being overweight even shortens life expectancy by an average of two to three years.
Why weight management is so important
To treat excess weight, it is crucial to pay attention to the right food portion and a balanced diet. This way your dog gets all the important nutrients while slowly returning to a healthy weight.
HelloBello calculates your dog's calorie needs individually – based on body condition, age and activity level. That way you know exactly how much food your dog needs.
Does your dog need a bit more help reaching his ideal weight, and are you unsure how best to proceed? You're welcome to arrange a personal consultation with our veterinarian to discuss your dog's individual situation. Book your consultation now!
