The Hidden Danger of an Overweight Dog on an Unbalanced Diet ⚠️
A few extra kilos might not seem like a big deal, but carrying excess weight while eating an unbalanced diet is one of the biggest threats to your dog’s long-term health.
Being overweight doesn’t just mean your dog is “well fed.” It means their body is working harder every single day.
An overweight dog is at a much higher risk of:
🐾 Arthritis and joint disease
🐾 Heart and respiratory problems
🐾 Diabetes
🐾 Reduced mobility and stamina
🐾 Increased risk during surgery and anaesthesia
🐾 A shorter life expectancy
Now add an unbalanced diet into the mix…
Feeding “just meat,” too many treats, table scraps, or an incorrectly formulated raw diet can leave your dog deficient in essential nutrients like calcium, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats, even if they’re overweight.
A dog can be overfed but still undernourished.
A properly balanced PMR diet isn’t about feeding more, it’s about feeding the right nutrients in the right ratios while maintaining a healthy body condition.
At H&K SPORTDOG RAW, our complete PMR mix is formulated to provide:
✔️ Correct muscle meat, bone and organ ratios
✔️ Added Omega 3, 6 & 9 with Vitamin E
✔️ High-quality protein to support lean muscle
✔️ Nutrition that fuels health, not excess weight
You should be able to:
🐕 Feel your dog’s ribs without pressing hard.
🐕 See a defined waist when viewed from above.
🐕 Notice an abdominal tuck when viewed from the side.
The goal isn’t a bigger dog. It’s a healthier, happier dog that can run, play and stay by your side for as many years as possible.
Feed for health, not just for fullness. ❤️🐾
