Not only will it cause these medical conditions but they make your dog feel like 💩💩 which can lead to behavior issues. Gut health is directly linked to serotonin production, so it must be healthy enough to do so.
Some quick adjustments you can make:
*Do not free feed, feed scheduled and measured meals to monitor. *Cut down on food currently feeding. If they do not lose weight in a month, you need to cut down more or rule out other medical issues such as thyroid or cushings disease
*Add fresh carrots or green beans instead of high calorie treats that are j***y (Milk bones especially).
*Training is a good reason to use treats for dogs, but training treats specifically are lower calorie, so using those instead of beggin strips or other low quality , high in garbage treats. Adjust your pups meals on days you use lots more treats.
*Do not feed fatty table scraps. I am not against people feeding their dogs healthy fresh foods, but they do not need our fatty leftovers from our meals. Boiled chicken for training is far different than feeding them potatoes with gravy and butter and corn.
