Obesity, how does it affect your dogs health?
Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease that affects the domestic dog and according to recent studies its frequency is increasing worldwide. Several aspects are involved in its development, such as: age, sex, genetics, the nutritional content of the food provided, the time of daily physical activity and the environmental conditions in which the dog lives. This disease is characterized by the progressive accumulation of fatty tissue (adipose tissue) in the body that eventually causes disease, affecting the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, immune, gastrointestinal, reproductive and nervous systems. The treatment of this disease requires the attention of veterinary medicine professionals.
