Is Your Dog Overweight?

Dogs can struggle with maintaining a healthy weight. Our Doggie Weight Watchers program helps overweight dogs shed excess pounds in a safe, effective manner, all while improving their energy levels, mobility, and quality of life. With our expert trainers, on-site veterinarian, and structured approach, Sequoyah K9 Academy can guide your dog to achieving a healthy weight.

Signs Your Pup May Need Weight Management

Determining if your dog is overweight isn’t always easy, especially when it happens gradually over time. However, there are a few key signs to look for:

  • Difficulty feeling your dog’s ribs under their coat and skin
  • Lack of an obvious waistline when viewed from above
  • Struggling with mobility or avoiding physical activity
  • Becoming easily winded or exhausted after moderate exercise
  • Difficulty getting up or climbing stairs
  • Weight-related health conditions like arthritis or diabetes

Finding a Healthy Weight for Your Dog

Maintaining a healthy weight for dogs is about more than just appearance. Carrying excess weight puts additional strain on your dog’s joints and organs, increasing the risk of serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and reduced mobility. Proper weight management for dogs leads to improved joint health, increased longevity, prevention of disease, and a better quality of life. However, figuring out the right plan to help your dog safely lose the right amount of weight can be confusing. That’s where Sequoyah K9 Academy comes in.
