Pets Dogs Endangered Obesity If employer is also Fat

Obesity in humans, among others, triggered by diet and unhealthy lifestyle. Likewise in the domestic dog, many of whom are obese because of bad habits affected his
employer. Just like in humans, obesity in dogs also trigger various health problems. Complications can
include arthritis and other diseases, which ultimately led to the dogs can not have longevity.

Researchers from Glasgow University recently0conducted a study about it. No less than 700
dogs were involved, drawn from seven animal0hospitals in the vicinity of Glasgow, Scotland.
Composition of fat in some parts of the dog's body is measured, and then grouped into seven categories based on body mass index (BMI).

Fattest obesity category is severe, characterized by body size 15 percent larger than the optimal
BMI. The results, published in the journal Small Animal Practice shows, ideal body size is only 35 percent owned by the domestic dog. The remaining 59 percent are overweight (overweight), 20 percent clinically obese and 39 percent experiencing severe obesity.

The main factors that trigger obesity in dogs are eating pattern. Type of unhealthy food and often
provide snacks that do not need to trigger obesity in most of the domestic dog.
The older age of the employer, the tendency to grow into overweight dogs are also higher because the roads are rarely invited. Whereas for
the dog, physical activity for one hour each day during the week can reduce weight by 15 percent.

Other factors that also affect the levels of income and welfare of the employer. Dogs that are kept on the employer-income 40 000 pounds ($550 million) per year, the opportunity to experience 61 percent lower obesity than in
employer income below £ 10,000 ($ 140 million) per year.

Some previous research has many proven that obesity is often experienced domestic dog. In
France, 39 percent experienced domestic dog overweight while 41 percent of dogs in Australia
into the obese category.
