If you are feeding your dog treats, you need to ensure you are not feeding too many treats. They can get really fat! One reason is there is a constant want for a high calorie treat versus their dog food. If you find you have given your dog lots of treats on a day, be sure to reduce their dog food, to make the day more level.
Treats are now so complicated at the pet store! There are a huge variety of chewy treats, dental sticks, and green in color treats. I find all of these bones, chewy treats and "natural" treats are not all that valid for your dog. You need to ensure that they keep their nutrition, and do not get any bad chemicals and preservatives.
A dog's liver can be very easily corrupted by chemicals and preservatives. If you are adding these treats into your dog's diet, and she is getting fat, chances are the treats are the culprit.
Be sure to look for healthy treat options. And, try a day without treats. Do your dog a great favor and keep them healthy and happy!
