Meet Choppa, now 15yo, when he came to us he was very overweight 18kg. His elderly owner decided to put him in our care permanently as her health and age made it challenging for her to give him the care she wanted for him.
Since then things have changed, he is now a healthy 13.5kg he has more vitality with a spring in his step, his heart condition and arthritic pain have also improved.
It’s easy to overfeed our dogs with a little here and little there of our human food which doesn’t support their health.
Remember like us, as they get older they need less food (energy) especially when they do little exercise, so be mindful of the quantity and quality of the food you feed.
