Dry dog food is convenient at times and it seems their stools are more firm with it. Most of the time I like to make their food with REAL MEAT - Chicken, Pork, Beef and sometimes organs too like hearts and gizzards, etc. For overweight dogs, cut down on portions and add water, too, because they can develop lots of issues from being overweight.
I recommend for ”Foodie” dogs, give them bones that they could chew on. For example I have a lab, she unfortunately has become obese because she eats everything, my vet recommended this, I suppose its like when some people eat when their bored, they just got to be chewing on something.
This was very helpful! I have a fat chihuahua and he HATES to exercise but I've noticed that his personality (dogality? 🤔) has changed and he seems kind of depressed. It's helpful to know that this is because he might be stressed because of his weight. If I slowly add more exercise, 5 extra minutes at a time like you said, will he start enjoying exercise more as he loses weight? Right now it feels like I'm torturing him by taking him out on walks, but I know he needs it.
Thank you for watching. Yes, just start slow but make some changes in the diet area as well. Diet is 80% of the solution where the exercise is only 20% of it. Make those changes slowly by adding some additional exercise as well and you'll notice his personality will change toward normal or better as well.
@@SaroDogTraining So I have a question my dog is an American pitbull terrier , she is turning 4 years old october 21st she is such a beautiful sweet heart , she also loves food , now is there some advice you can give me for feeding her home cooked meals , I feed her rice and boneless chicken sometimes , sometimes potatoes and sometimes I give her fruits like apple banana would you recommend that? Or should I just switch her diet completely to home-cooked meals every day ? and if so what is something that I can feed her daily that will be good for her I am trying to make her lose some weight stay happy healthy and strong sometimes it can be a little bit confusing when I look for certain foods a lot of mixed answers online people say this is good for them this is good for them and some people say no it’s not good only sometimes what is a good diet for her to lose weight and stay strong throughout her life , can you maybe list a couple of different cooked dishes that I can make for her I don’t feel comfortable giving her raw meat .
Thank you! I recently had major surgery, and my dog got FAT. I started him on The Farmers Dog dog food, and even I can manage to make the suggested changes! Awesome!
We are very similar and if we can improve our lives, we will be able to improve our dog's lives as well. I hope you are doing well after your surgery. Take good care.
Oops! I have been giving my two labradors dry food all the time because they wont try anything else😂 My dogs absolutely love walks and we go for big long runs and walks with them but they just cant seem to lose weight
Try different diet instead of food. Raw diet is a great diet which is more natural and easier for dogs to tolerate. They will love it too. Very long exercises can actually cause more physical injuries and may cause mental and emotional trauma in dogs as well, if they are overweight. By adjusting their diet and providing proper amount of exercise, you can help them not only shed some unwanted weight but also live better, healthier and longer lives. Let me know if you have nay questions. I'd be happy to help.
Please give me some tips. My beagle is overweight, and because of it she is developing arthritis. Is there anything I can do to help her lose the weight and possible slow the symptoms of arthritis?
I have a 3 y.o Beagle. He's 20 kilos. Twice a day, we always go out to the park for a run, play with other puppies, and he likes to climb smaller hills. She eats vegetables and dry food (sometimes even wet food and rice) but still fails to lose weight. What should I do? PLEASE HELP! I love her so much, and I don't like walking down the street, and instead of people telling me how beautiful she is, they tell me how fat she is💞😭 You are amazing, thank you for everything you do for all the puppies💞💕
First thing I would suggest is to stop feeding kibble or rice for few months at least or forever. They are the main cause of being overweight. For few months invest in providing fresh food, fresh meat and veggies. You can either feed raw or cooked. Also focus on providing ideal amount of exercise and healthier lifestyle. Here are some videos for you to watch and get some ideas of what to feed. Info about raw feeding: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html Info for cooked feeding: th-cam.com/video/-dTj8bsRhmE/w-d-xo.html
My dog is a large coonhound mix w/ Gordon setter. Our vet removed an 11lb tumor in December. He lost so much weight. Now he’s back over 100lbs. He’s been on a mix of 2 cups of some purina intestinal cereal mixed with yogurt & pumpkin purée, an arthritis pill, & Turkey tail mushroom....2 x per day. He barely moves around.
Try to catch the weight gain sooner and reduce proportions or water down the food more. YOU obviously are a good owner and love your dog, but don't kill the dog with love. Dogs are not designed to live forever and they should not be overfed. I have a street dog that adopted me - she was in Mexico and only 18 lbs. at 1 yr. old - she was starving to death!!! Today she's likely 30 lbs. and seems a bit overweight, BUT she's got a stocky build, too. I'd like to get her down five or six pounds - when they are overweight they won't live as long AND they will have other health issues, to. Oh, and stay away from mass produced dog foods of any kind - I make my own dog food and the dogs are more healthy as a result.
Thankyou for this What you say makes so much more sense than other sites I have looked at. The recommendation of only kibble did not make sense to me. So I will follow this channel.
God bless you for putting on captions. You’re a life saver! I have hearing problems and captions are very helpful, and unfortunately it’s hard finding helpful videos on this topic that have captions. 🙏🏻
Yes, don't focus on running as it will cause physical injuries. Walking is a great start of adding some form of physical activity in your beagle. Just slowly add 5 to 10 minutes a day to the walks for few weeks and then start adding more speed like fast walks or jogs. Then in a month or so, you can add some short running. Mainly focus on providing a healthy diet. The following video will teach you about the diet. th-cam.com/video/UDGUhkGF7K4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the advice. I knew I had to change diet but I’m weary of overexerting my dog as she is chubby right now due to an injury. I’m going straight to the next diet video!
I adopted an Akita in October who is extremely obese. He has a rare genetic disease called VKH, and because of it, He's on heavy duty steroids that make him lazy, ravenous & retain a lot of water. He's seeing 2 specialists that are trying to adjust his meds so hopefully we can get him off of one of the steroids soon, but in the meantime, I'm really trying to focus on his weight. He should weigh 120-125lbs and he's 160 lbs. His previous owner was feeding him 10 cups a day, and he never did walks or anything, because he was working full time & in school full time...... So it's definitely an uphill battle. This video is very helpful, and I'm hoping some of the tips will help us out. Thank you!
Based on my experience and what I've learned based on my research, you can heal your dog's health issue by some changes in his diet and lifestyle changes. I suggest starting feeding raw diet which will help to remove the medications and everything else that may cause even more issues. Most vest are not educated enough about health issues but just emergency related issues. Try finding holistic vets and talking to them about your dog's issues. Remember, most vets are in it as business and if your dog is ill, they make more money then your dog getting well. Let me know if you need more info and I will be happy to help.
I have a corgi mixed with a big dog, so she’s like a big corgi. She’s now overweight, her short legs aren’t helping. I’m starting to lose hope but we put her on a diet. She’s extremely happy and can still run and do everything, but needs to still lose weight because it’s caused her leg issues
I used to feed rice and vegetables. But it increased in weight. Now it got kibble which it hates. It's not eating at all. Don't know which diet to give. Any diet for weight loss? Should I put rice? Is meat necessary everyday or can I put egg?
If you want your dog to gain weight, you can add rice but if you want your dog to lose weight, you feed a species appropriate diet. You can do that either by cooking at home or feeding a raw diet. Here is a video to learn about home-cooked diet: th-cam.com/video/HUR1YswXSqE/w-d-xo.html and here is a video about a raw diet: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! My Labrador is disabled and can’t walk far due to his legs not working properly. He is obese, on dry food and unhappy. Poor boy. He gets lots of love but I think you are right. I will change his food to home cooked and try that. Also I will try and take him for just 2 minutes extra walk a day. He only walks 500m now. Poor thing!!!!
Saro Dog Training we have thought about it and asked. Unfortunately his back legs don’t work well but his front legs are full of arthritis so he can’t pull the wheelchair. 😥
I would also look into feeding raw diet to start detoxing and getting rid of inflammations due to kibble or dry food diet. that way, his body can start repairing / heeling and empowering it to have an easier and healthier life from now on. It will make a big difference in its life.
My dogs are both healthy and we exercise them each day, generally. My Lab-ShiPai mix is athletic, but getting old and has some right rear leg issues apparently due to arthritis. She runs fast, so I like to let her run free during walks so she gets a workout. My other dog is a Mex. street dog that found me - she's impacted by fears of abandonment, but she has some issues over eating - always has an apatite and loves the large Costco dog biscuits - she's smart and hides or saves many biscuits, too, so she somehow finds on in the middle of the night and will be eating it. She was 18 lbs. when she found me, BUT she's probably about 30 lbs. - looks excellent, but she is a tad overweight; thus, I want to cut down a bit on her food. I make their food using brown rice and meat - this smaller dog won't eat the dry food when we add it, but the other dog will eat it reluctantly.
@@SaroDogTraining Some told me to use white rice, but brown rice is more healthy. Maybe I can use less of it. One guy recommends Oatmeal to thicken the food when it's too watery. I'm adding some things to the homemade food after seeing some of the videos on recipes for dog food. My big dog Spike is gone now, but he'd eat a bowl of food and if there's a pill or a pea that he doesn't like he'd leave the bowl and that pill or pea would still be there - the only thing he wouldn't eat!!!!!
@@SaroDogTraining I was just looking at lentils at Walmart, so I can add some. These are just fillers. One of my dogs attempts to eliminate some materials like Green Beans and Carrots, so those items need to be mashed up to avoid that. I want to cut back on rice. Occasionally they get loose so I watch to keep their droppings firm. I love when I'm in Mexico, because the butchers are like the old fashioned ones - sometimes they make meat and bones for the dogs - they charge $1 to $2 for a big bag that lasts for days. Sometimes, if I buy other meat, they give the stuff for the dog as a free gift.
I dont see the link for the diet suggestion.. my dachahund is overweight ever since we had a baby, i kow for sure her activity level has gone down conpared to before but i really want to get her healthy #sarodogtraining
I am so sorry. It has been added now. Thank you for pointing that out. Here is the link to the video that you were looking for: th-cam.com/video/7P85BMCCboI/w-d-xo.html
MyBeagle walks so slow, she wants to smell every blade of grass. We will never get our heart rate up… And yes, she is over weight even though I eliminated kibble. Getting a thyroid test done for her this week.
My golden retriever is pretty overweight and I'm worried about her health, we've changed her food to home cooked vegetables mixed with a little bit of dry food, but the thing is she hates going out. Since Covid we've been taking her out for exercise less and less, which we shouldn't have. She refuses to leave the house now unless she desperately needs the bathroom, her walks are about 5 minutes, or a lot of the time she goes back inside as soon as she's peed. She walks very slowly and I haven't seen her run in a very long time. When you try to make her walk further she sits down and refuses to move, it's hard to drag her without hurting her, but a lot of the time she stands in position so firmly that you can't get her to budge at all. I've recently started to try to retrain her to play fetch and rewarding her with small singular dry food pellets as a treat when she brings the ball back to try to encourage her without over feeding her, but she's just not interested. I have to toss the ball very close by, and even then she just slowly walks to it, she won't run. After the first throw she loses interest and stops going after the ball.
My German shepherd is literally the same and she will turn 6 this march. I am really worried about her health. My German shepherd is also a very picky eater she only likes to eat some lentins cooked with rice in the morning and at night she eats home made flat breads with milk and then immediately starts asking for treats because my parents have spoilt her with treats after dinner. But she literally doesn't want to move at all.
@@vaishnavijaiswal7002Dogs will eat what we provide. If it is treated, they will eat treats or cookies or rice or caviar. So, be aware of what you provide and try to provide the best diet for your dog. The best diet is explained in the video.
I’ve changed to raw diet and I went off to another country and let my dog with my family and when I came back my dog was so fat I realized they were just giving them kibble so I am trying to go back to her diet.
Yes, dry food or kibble contains mainly carbs and it tends to transform to sugar which causes dogs to gain weight no matter what brand, what formula or how much more or less a dog is being fed. The best choice is to select a species appropriate diet for your dog.
I have a Q about grains. What is the best diet for my nine-year-old Beagles? They have raw chicken for breakfast and a half cup of Hills Prescription Joint Care kibble from the vet. Dinner they have vegetable and meat casserole with rice or pasta. Treats are pig ears, bacon, ham or dried liver treat. And they have a bone every other day. Would you remove any of these items? Thanks, nice video and we will add 5 mins and a run in our walks 😀
Grains are not natural source of diet for dogs but it is OK sometimes, a little bit. What you are feeding is fine except that I would remove the Hills prescription kibble since it is not natural and actually adds more toxins to the joints. Instead I would suggest to add omega oil to the food that you feed. Here is a video which I show what I feed my dog and it is what I recommend. th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
That’s helpful. My dog is very active, he’s three. I roller skate while he runs and we go on long walks almost everyday and he has two brothers to play with also. He’s overweight though. We have no idea why... I think maybe he’s just naturally big. Or stressed I doubt it though he seems very happy. He sleeps in my bed with me.
My Lab is one and a half years old... He is 32 kgs... Is he over weight? We have started controlling diet and gradually increasing physical exercise... We mainly give him home cooked food... Dry food very little... One egg per day... veggies, curd and weekly twice chicken.... Now I have started giving only the white in eggs... What other changes I have to make sir?
Try giving the whole egg instead of just the whites. Also, try feeding whole, fresh meals and remove the kibble. Give chicken or any meat every day and the main meal with some veggies mixed in it. The other changes are mentioned in the video.
My plan is to use peas as they are healthier than a lot of dog treats. Use a handful one person upstairs, one downstairs and each encourage the dog to go up and down the stairs for 10 minutes a day. Would you say that would be effective? He’s not classed as overweight but he’s deffo 2kg more than I’d like him to be. (To be clear!!!!) I do walk my dogs everyday too or at least as long as the weather/ temperature is safe for them. He’s a medium sized dog and got about 4 hours worth of walking yesterday which I hope helped him a bit.
My dog is just a little bit overweight. He has 5 years old and I feed him with Royal Canin 5+ dry food, but also cooked food. But he does not lose weight or gain weight. I walk and do jogging with him about 1 hour ( max.)
Could you give me some advice about how could I train my dog , please? He is not so easy to train like a puppy. He knows a few tricks. How could I learn him more tricks? Please! I am already subscribed.
Start by watching the following videos and work on each lesson (video) for 20 minutes a day, couple of weeks before moving to the next. lesson. th-cam.com/video/2CvtFcNJTuM/w-d-xo.html
Hi and thank you! If a chicken neck is included how would you just feed half the portion? I have a rescue toy poodle who was 4 kg and very thin but, has been a bit spoilt by me (I’m working on her weight now) and need her to lose 1kg at least. Thanks
Yes you can! Simply include everything that you feed daily based on this formula. If you want her to be (or her ideal weight is) 20Lbs. feed her 200 grams of food. i.e. if 25 Lbs, feed 250 grams., if 50Lbs, 500 grams...
Every year, $85 for blood work, $45 vet visit just to get the prescription for diet dog food + $130 for each bag of food. Dogs knee joints at bad so he can't take walks farther than 3 houses distances away.
Hi Saro what in human food can Igive to my overweight Jack Russel , I know u said that westbound jog with our dog but because I have had 3 major back ops I am not allowed to jog or Run do u have any advice for me thanks u Misti, from South Africa
I don't suggest feeding human food but human grade food is OK. Try feeding as much as possible fresh food. Also, just simply go for walks with your dog.
I have an irrelevant question, what is more likely for a dog to get cancerous tumor or a fatty tumor? My dog has a bump on her back I don’t know what it is.
Could be benign and it is just a piece of fat that just grows in an area (usually stressed area). Check with your vet and have them do a test to see if it is or is not.
My dog is not fat, but I am afraid of moving her to the BARF diet. I don’t know how a dog burns calories. Let me explain why I say this. Humans burn about 3,200 calories to burn one lb worth of calories. What is that for dogs? Also, I am afraid meat alone is not bad, but can lack some nutrients. Why do I say this? What nutrients not in meat do I need to supplement in BARF diet? Please consider the value of your time. Why do I say this? Maybe if you provide links you can save time more than explaining your valuable answers here. I am excited to hear what you have to say!
Ok so i have my parents Springer spaniel for 2 to 3 weeks shes the mother of my 2 and we swap when my bitch is in heat. My parents clearly neglect her and overfeed her especially cheese and do not exercise her much now she's her is there any point really focusing on her losing weight as it will just be reverse in a couple of weeks anyway
I just adopted a dog today and he is double his weight and just got neutered. Should I keep on walking running and jogging with him or should I hold on the weight loss
First of all, you have just adopted the dog so it will be stressed for now. Also had a surgery so it needs to heal completely. So, just walk it and allow it to get comfortable with you first.
Sounds right. It is better to be light than heavy but try to see if you can feel his ribs when you run your hands over them. If you feel them, add more food. If you don't feel them continue as you've been doing s far.
Hi my friend has a really cool American Johnson pitbull and she is a little overweight I am wondering because they can’t be walked very far due to bad neighbourhood I’m wondering what else I can do for her
My dog is overweight and struggles to run , he doesn’t like physical activities at all . He is always sleeping or laying I am worried about him can you pls suggest me a diet for my dog ,he is a vegetarian.
Dogs shouldn't be vegetarians. It is not species appropriate diet for dogs. They need meat to produce energy and live better. You have to feed your dog meat and veggies mixed. Try to get excited about going to parks and take your dog for hikes and such. Dogs mostly copy their owners energy. You need to get energized and get him out more. Here is what I suggest to feed your dog: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
I own a female Labrador retriever. Her weight has increased a lot. Her weight is 55kg. And she walks very less and gets tired soon. I am worried about her. Gonna try taking her out a bit longer. I hope it helps.
A good focus is on diet - make certain you do NOT overfeed the dog and add water to the food to keep the calories in balance. Do NOT kill the dog with love and kindness - she needs to eat less. I have a lab mix female that's about 55 lbs. at 7 years old - she's extremely athletic but she's getting some arthritis, but she's always been the perfect weight. Maybe your dog has diabetes or something. A very strict diet should help her a lot. Given she's overweight, her life will be short and she's likely to have other health problems, too, so be prepared to lose her at some point and that's when you can give another dog a great life.
Any tips for dogs that can't run or move? My dog can't use one of her paws due to some genetic problems and lately she got so chubby that it's hard for her to move. Are exercises like yoga good for dogs too?
Any comments on Authority dog food for adults. Been giving it to me Bonnie 4 years. Starting homemade food tomorrow. And Doggy day camp! Pronto. I so want her in my life for many years to come for us!
In my opinion, if you are feeding kibble or dry food, you are not feeding a clean, good and spices appropriate diet to your dog. All kibbles and dry foods are made the same way no matter what brand, how cheap or expensive they are. Focus on feeding a natural food to your dog which is basically raw diet.
@@SaroDogTraining Thank you. My vet tells me about raw, but I am coward when it comes to that. I did make a batch of sweet potatoes, spinach, a little rice for filler, egg shells for protein, peas for her breakfast. When should I start raw?
You can start anytime. Don't worry. It is not dangerous as long as you take the proper steps and use common sense. I think you have watched the video that I feed my beagle raw diet. It's that simple.
My girlfriend's Dachshund, Darkie is obese and he is kinda old now. He is a cute lad and I love Darkie but since few days poor boy is sick and he has red eyes. Darkie's doctor said he has Cushing syndrome and he told us to give fish, rice and vegetable diet. Now the problem is that Darkie doesn't listen and he likes eating junk or only chicken. Today morning she gave Darkie vegetables but he is refusing to eat it. She had to give him milk but after having milk he puked. I am concerned. I told my girlfriend to be harsh on Darkie when it comes to diet. Its for Darkie's benefit only but I don't know if she can. Do you have any suggestions on how we can make Darkie follow the new diet because he doesn't like eating vegetables and stuff. Should I tell my girlfriend to still give him vegetables and let him starve if he doesn't eat it. If he starts getting very hungry I think he will definitely eat whatever we give him
You need to encourage your dog to go for walks. You can also try getting your dog to swim. Swimming is a great, easy and healthy way of helping your dog to burn off some calories.
Focus on diet to get that weight down - add water and make the portions smaller!!!! Do NOT kill the dog with love!!! I, too, have a Chihuahua mix - she was a desperate street dog all bones and 18 lbs. in Mexico, so today she's super healthy and seems a bit overweight, because she will overeat or eat a lot of doggie biscuits - she's a bit stocky in build, so I'm hoping to get her down a bit from her 30 lbs. weight - maybe 25-ish would be good for her.
I kinda need help. My grandma barely feeds her dog and he's very overweight. The dog need exercise but my grandmother can't walk him because it's too hot and grandma is too old. I'm not sure how to help.
Proper diet is the key and not the amount of food. Ask her to feed fresh food and try to walk the dog 3 to 4 times a day for 15 minutes each. Not too long which is doable for both of them, I hope. Here are some info about fresh food: th-cam.com/video/CcejBqqlk_E/w-d-xo.html
I don't know what to do!! Help!! My dog has ballooned and I dont know what to do. He only eats 2 cups daily and we walk 2 miles a week. I know I need to increase his excersice, I hope it works
Sure. Click on the following link to watch: th-cam.com/video/7P85BMCCboI/w-d-xo.html Also if you want a simpler version of a diet for your dog watch the following video but don't cook the meat. Just feed raw meat and vegetables. th-cam.com/video/-dTj8bsRhmE/w-d-xo.html
I have a shar-pei,lab,boxer mix, she needs to loss about 20 lbs we do the exercise no problem but I make her food myself (brown rice, a meat, and veggies) problem is she wont eat it if I add too many veggies and she will refuse to eat if I try and switch it up too much. What can I do? I can give her less but I feel like shes still hungry she will cry and beg for more
Make sure to feed enough food, everyday. Find out the ideal weight for her and feed her based on that. For instance if her ideal weight is 40 Lbs., you should feed her 400 grams of daily food. Also, rice is one of the causes of gaining weight so, I will remove that first. The other suggestion that i have try to focus on feeding green leafy vegetables and in form of puree or juiced. That will make it easier for her to eat. So, basically focus on feeding 75% meat and 25% veggies. I also suggest to feed raw if possible. Here is more info: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
Very helpful! My dog is overweight and I've been trying to increase exercise (now we make 30 minutes -1h walks) and to feed her less food but nothing really seems to change, so going by the video, I should try another type of diet?
My dog is cocker spinal he is 2 month old so what type of food i need to give to him he usually bite clothes and other things how can i stop him to bite and how can i train him
My chihuahua is 13 and she needs to lose a few pounds recommend by my vet but I'm not sure the best way to do it. I live somewhere cold most of the year and she doesn't like go be out in the cold her paws will freeze so I don't know what kind of exercise you would recommend for her since she is older. I feed her fresh pet and trying to cut back on what feed her and treats I was wondering if you had any suggestion that would help her lose weight. She is also a picky eater when it comes to dog food so I just feed her fresh pet since that's the only thing she will actually eat and like
What do you mean by feeding her fresh pet? Where do you live? Play these games at home with your dog everyday. These games will replace the physical activities your dog needs. th-cam.com/video/oMbxBg6EAfY/w-d-xo.html
My dog its 6 month and weighs 19kg 500grams and she is an american bully classic and this breed here where i live its unknown and really strange to find, and my Veterinary who is a well known vet, told me she is overweight and told me all the health risk, i reduced her food intake and she looks more slim and more agile but she is losing weight slow and also gets really exhausted after running and playing with me. Its being hard for her losing weight, i do not know if changing lower calorie croquettes or vegan croquettes?
It is not about the calories. It's about feeding the right food. Start feeding a raw diet and avoid lean meats. I will share a video where you can watch what I suggest to feed your dog. Also, don't focus on providing too much exercise. Over-exercising can cause additional internal and physical stress in your dog. Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
My dog is a beagle cocker-spaniel mix who is 12. He’s had some joint problems which has impaired mobility and he’s 80 pounds now. Luckily we just got him some weight loss food prescribed by the vet. On top of the food, how many walks should I give him a day and how long until I see progress?
I would skip the prescribed pet food recommended by your vet. They are not going to help with the weight loss. It will make your dog to lose lots of nutrients that it needs to lose weight and stay healthy. Instead feed home made food and walk your dog at least 30 minutes at a time, twice a day for the next 3 months.
Saro Dog Training okay. The food my mother got for him was some Purina OM weight management food. Thanks for the tip. I’m just happy to hear a 12yo dog can still lose weight lol.
My dog has no hope 😐this is what happens We have four dogs and when it's time for food they don't finish their food and my dog eats all of the remaining food ,she does exercise if taking walks twice a day counts as exercising and she has sooo much energy but her weight is...... 😐
My dog is ALWAYS hungry no matter how much I feed her. Every hour she wants food so I give her slices of turkey. And now shes fat and the vet told me shes overweight.
Just because your dog is asking it to feed, you shouldn't be feeding. Find out the ideal daily food intake for your dog and just feed that. Also follow the guidelines in the video to improve even more.
ur dog has learned that if she acts hungry you will give her more food, take control of her schedule and dont let her control you, you gotta be the leader
Excellent Tips! Thank you. Do you think swimming is a good exercise for dogs? Everyday, I have a 1:30 hours of walk with my lab girl, but she is still overweight. I usually give some treats to her, she loves them, do you think treats are bad for dogs?
Swimming is an excellent way of exercise for an overweight dog. I highly recommend that. Reduce the amount of walk to no more than an hour a day. Preferably, brake it down to 2 half hour walks. One thing that I have noticed, even with my own dog, is that as soon as I reduce or cut off the treats, he lost the unwanted weight. Treats contain usually high calories, depending on its type and they need to be considered as a meal. Just figure out the daily intake amount that is ideal for your dog and count the treats as part of it.
It will depend on how bad the situation is. It will depend on your dog's metabolism, how consistent you will be to follow the new routine which is to reduce the food intake and replace it with clean and fresh, raw food, and add some minimal exercises on daily basis. Overall, it will take 3 to 6 months.
My dog is a male English springer spaniel and he is about 55 pounds and he is supposed to be like 45 and he’s kinda chubby and we take him on a half hour walk in the morning and evening but he’s still overweight?
Unfortunately there aren't any good kibbles because they all use the same concept to make. I would suggest investing a bit more in a fresh food section rather than dry food section. You can also try mixing some fresh food to the kibble which I explain in the following video: th-cam.com/video/rkLoKm4f_pg/w-d-xo.html
Hello , I have a 1yr 6mo old golden retriever and she's 37 kgs even tho she's not very tall , she's not obese but she is overweight and has a lot of fat , her diet is has very low calories and I give her excersise throughout the day , I make her run behind my cycle for 30 mins a day , I play fetch with her for 30-40 mins a day , I walk her for 3 km 2wice a day and at night I walk her on the treadmill on trot speed for 40mins and she does not seem to reduce much weight , show reduced a little a few months ago and I've been very consistent with the routine and she's still just as fat as before , please help me as I've looked for solutions everywhere and my vet also doesn't know Any solution , also she overheats very quickly and has very low stamina despite all the excersise so please help me she's everything to me

Hello Sir! I have a problem with the food part. I understand the downsides of dry food but we can’t afford to give much raw food for my dog, he is a allergic to most meat or human food. Would a canned food called “Chunkey Husky “ be good for him? He is a bit old and I wanna do everything to help him!
Yes you can but understand that he is not allergic to the meat. He is allergic to the garbage that is in the dry food bag. Your dog won't show any food allergies if you feed it raw meat. Try it.
The raw diet is the best diet for dogs. The worst diet is kibble or dry food for dogs. You can learn all about the raw diet in the following videos: th-cam.com/video/7Vf9_bb_c5g/w-d-xo.html
I have a fat dog I also have a few questions 1how many days will it take to see the improvement in my dogs weight and 2 is purina dog chow harmful to my dogs weight
If you do everything properly and follow the instruction, you should see weigh loss within a month. You don't want your dog to lose weight too fast as well. That is not natural and healthy. The longer it takes the better. The slower your dog loses weight the healthier. Please remember, that any dry food or kibble, no matter how expensive or how good the bag claims to be, it is not healthy and it won't help with weight loss. That is because over 60% of the kibble or dry food bag contains sugar in the form of carbs. So, instead, I suggest you to try feeding fresh food or raw diet. Here is a video of what I feed my dog and what I suggest to feed dogs. th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
Sir my beagle dog is 2 years old and he is fat and mostly he sleeps at day and play also but he is fat so sir what to do we give him weight loss feed that we have asked from his doctor he is fat 😞 and he love walking
Dogs don't need rice, especially brown rice because they can't digest it well. Also, dogs need to have meat in their diet and can't survive on veggies and rice only. It will also cause lots of digestive and health issues. Dogs need 75% of meat and 25% veggies in their diet. Also, try t follow the 3 steps that I shared in the video.
Hi Sir...Great video 😊 answers a lot... wanted to talk about our Milo..who's a 5 year old beagle.....is very brave....recently recovered from hind limb paralysis....which has gotten him to gain weight is 25 kgs now....we have shifted him to home cooked diet...can you recommended some thing for his health ?
@@SaroDogTraining Sir, Also Milo was detected with Liver disorders.... Vet has instructed us to totally stop chicken in his diet.... Turmeric will be a good idea for him...your thoughts ?
Remove the rice and replace it with some green leafy vegetables. Add an egg, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/8 of teaspoon ginger powder and it would be perfect.
Hello sir., I have a 10 month old laberdog. Now he have 35 kg weight. Is this over weight ? Also he has a Pain on back left leg. Do you have any suggestions?
For a 10 month old lab, 35 kg, I think is fine. As long as you can feel the ribs slightly is fine. Do you know what the pain s from? Is it an injury or a condition related?
hi sir my beagle female becm fatty cant move her back side som calcium n other medicine inj r gving her now, in her past she bcm two time mother n last she gv 7 pup on 10 september. plz suggest home diet to loose her weight. doc said that food should be gvn in one time now... help?
No worries. I can give you some ideas to work with. I also suggest adding some omega 3 oil in her food. It is a good idea to allow your dog to fast and just feed once a day but you also need to feed her good food in order for the body to be able to burn fat instead of sugar. If you feed kibble, then she will be burning sugar but if you feed raw diet, she will be burning fat. Also, try to give her 3 to 4 fast walks a day. Do this for the next 6 months and you will see drastic changes in your dog's health and weight.
@@SaroDogTraining thanks fr rply.. in raw diet cn i gv her carrot for once... n wt othr cn i gv... i highly apreciat ur ans n suggestion i will do this definetly thank u very much... may god gv u a beautiful happy life
Thank you so much for your wishes. I appreciate that very much. Yes, you can give carrots as is for entertainment purposes. If you'd like to know what exactly you could feed your dog, please watch the following video. th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
This makes so much sense! I guess dry dog food is like us living on a diet of Doritos?
Exactly. I compare it to being on fast food diet for rest of our lives. I don't think we'll feel good either. Thank you so much for watching.
I give my fog dry food and she still is chubby I'm scared because it's bad for her health
Dry dog food is convenient at times and it seems their stools are more firm with it. Most of the time I like to make their food with REAL MEAT - Chicken, Pork, Beef and sometimes organs too like hearts and gizzards, etc. For overweight dogs, cut down on portions and add water, too, because they can develop lots of issues from being overweight.
thanks! sending to my ex rn! 🙂
Yes
What
Omg lol at first I thought you were talking about her dog
Alleah Smith hehe lol 😂 humour
Lol I actually jist did the same
I recommend for ”Foodie” dogs, give them bones that they could chew on. For example I have a lab, she unfortunately has become obese because she eats everything, my vet recommended this, I suppose its like when some people eat when their bored, they just got to be chewing on something.
That is a great idea. Thank you for sharing it with all dog lovers.
i started doing the same thing with my dog because he loves begging for food at all times, he loves having smth to chew on instead now
Do you have any recommendations for bones?
@@SaroDogTraining k
My dog has no teeth though 😐
This was very helpful! I have a fat chihuahua and he HATES to exercise but I've noticed that his personality (dogality? 🤔) has changed and he seems kind of depressed. It's helpful to know that this is because he might be stressed because of his weight. If I slowly add more exercise, 5 extra minutes at a time like you said, will he start enjoying exercise more as he loses weight? Right now it feels like I'm torturing him by taking him out on walks, but I know he needs it.
Thank you for watching. Yes, just start slow but make some changes in the diet area as well. Diet is 80% of the solution where the exercise is only 20% of it. Make those changes slowly by adding some additional exercise as well and you'll notice his personality will change toward normal or better as well.
GlamMeriah is he better now?
That's my beagle as well. She is overweight, and she doesn't want to exercise at all
@@SaroDogTraining So I have a question my dog is an American pitbull terrier , she is turning 4 years old october 21st she is such a beautiful sweet heart , she also loves food , now is there some advice you can give me for feeding her home cooked meals , I feed her rice and boneless chicken sometimes , sometimes potatoes and sometimes I give her fruits like apple banana would you recommend that? Or should I just switch her diet completely to home-cooked meals every day ? and if so what is something that I can feed her daily that will be good for her I am trying to make her lose some weight stay happy healthy and strong sometimes it can be a little bit confusing when I look for certain foods a lot of mixed answers online people say this is good for them this is good for them and some people say no it’s not good only sometimes what is a good diet for her to lose weight and stay strong throughout her life , can you maybe list a couple of different cooked dishes that I can make for her I don’t feel comfortable giving her raw meat .
Currently helping my fat boy Toby lose weight!!
Are you following the directions in the video? Let me know the progress.
Thank you! I recently had major surgery, and my dog got FAT. I started him on The Farmers Dog dog food, and even I can manage to make the suggested changes! Awesome!
We are very similar and if we can improve our lives, we will be able to improve our dog's lives as well. I hope you are doing well after your surgery. Take good care.
Oops! I have been giving my two labradors dry food all the time because they wont try anything else😂 My dogs absolutely love walks and we go for big long runs and walks with them but they just cant seem to lose weight
Try different diet instead of food. Raw diet is a great diet which is more natural and easier for dogs to tolerate. They will love it too. Very long exercises can actually cause more physical injuries and may cause mental and emotional trauma in dogs as well, if they are overweight. By adjusting their diet and providing proper amount of exercise, you can help them not only shed some unwanted weight but also live better, healthier and longer lives. Let me know if you have nay questions. I'd be happy to help.
@@daisyphillips3451 that's sad. I hope you did the advice this video suggested

There are so many overweight pets from being loved by their owners. Thank you so much for watching.
thanks so much Saro. I especially appreciate the raw diet tip.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching.
I have a 3 y.o Beagle. He's 20 kilos. Twice a day, we always go out to the park for a run, play with other puppies, and he likes to climb smaller hills. She eats vegetables and dry food (sometimes even wet food and rice) but still fails to lose weight. What should I do? PLEASE HELP! I love her so much, and I don't like walking down the street, and instead of people telling me how beautiful she is, they tell me how fat she is💞😭
You are amazing, thank you for everything you do for all the puppies💞💕
First thing I would suggest is to stop feeding kibble or rice for few months at least or forever. They are the main cause of being overweight. For few months invest in providing fresh food, fresh meat and veggies. You can either feed raw or cooked. Also focus on providing ideal amount of exercise and healthier lifestyle. Here are some videos for you to watch and get some ideas of what to feed. Info about raw feeding: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html Info for cooked feeding: th-cam.com/video/-dTj8bsRhmE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much💞
My dog has became a champ at snatching food and it’s out of control so the diet she goes and crate time anytime there’s food
As soon as you said raw diet.... I like this man already. ❤️
I appreciate that.
I see a lot of fat dogs around my neighborhood..they need to go on a diet and do exercise. Nice touch on the subscribe invitation
Thank you for watching. Just tell them to watch my video.
My dog is a large coonhound mix w/ Gordon setter. Our vet removed an 11lb tumor in December. He lost so much weight. Now he’s back over 100lbs. He’s been on a mix of 2 cups of some purina intestinal cereal mixed with yogurt & pumpkin purée, an arthritis pill, & Turkey tail mushroom....2 x per day. He barely moves around.
Try to catch the weight gain sooner and reduce proportions or water down the food more. YOU obviously are a good owner and love your dog, but don't kill the dog with love. Dogs are not designed to live forever and they should not be overfed. I have a street dog that adopted me - she was in Mexico and only 18 lbs. at 1 yr. old - she was starving to death!!! Today she's likely 30 lbs. and seems a bit overweight, BUT she's got a stocky build, too. I'd like to get her down five or six pounds - when they are overweight they won't live as long AND they will have other health issues, to. Oh, and stay away from mass produced dog foods of any kind - I make my own dog food and the dogs are more healthy as a result.
Thankyou for this What you say makes so much more sense than other sites I have looked at. The recommendation of only kibble did not make sense to me. So I will follow this channel.
Thank you and welcome to the community. Feel free to engage and ask questions.
Gonna start by diet than fix up his exercise slowly becauae he is pretty alright in that area. Thanks!
I thought those were great ideas😊! Thank you.
You are so welcome!

Great tips! My dogs could stand to lose a few pounds. Thanks!
Don't we some of do. Thank you for watching.
I cut back on my dog's food but then he howls at the bowl😕
When that happens, start playing or take it for a walk. Redirect the focus ad the temptation from food to another healthy activity.
@@SaroDogTraining ok thank you!
Day 4 of no human food or snacks! We are doing it!
my beagle is around 20kg, does walking help lose weight. I feel like his weight puts too much pressure on his joints when he runs.
Yes, don't focus on running as it will cause physical injuries. Walking is a great start of adding some form of physical activity in your beagle. Just slowly add 5 to 10 minutes a day to the walks for few weeks and then start adding more speed like fast walks or jogs. Then in a month or so, you can add some short running. Mainly focus on providing a healthy diet. The following video will teach you about the diet. th-cam.com/video/UDGUhkGF7K4/w-d-xo.html
I have the same issue with the same breed, except a female beagle. Her father was fat and most of her siblings were. Did the diet and exercise help?
Same, my female Beagle is 18kgs and I have put her on royal cannin sateity. And she hates exercise
I have a plump poodle this is very helpful 😄
Great. Let me know how it goes in a moth or two.
Thanks for the advice. I knew I had to change diet but I’m weary of overexerting my dog as she is chubby right now due to an injury. I’m going straight to the next diet video!
I adopted an Akita in October who is extremely obese. He has a rare genetic disease called VKH, and because of it, He's on heavy duty steroids that make him lazy, ravenous & retain a lot of water. He's seeing 2 specialists that are trying to adjust his meds so hopefully we can get him off of one of the steroids soon, but in the meantime, I'm really trying to focus on his weight. He should weigh 120-125lbs and he's 160 lbs. His previous owner was feeding him 10 cups a day, and he never did walks or anything, because he was working full time & in school full time...... So it's definitely an uphill battle. This video is very helpful, and I'm hoping some of the tips will help us out. Thank you!
Based on my experience and what I've learned based on my research, you can heal your dog's health issue by some changes in his diet and lifestyle changes. I suggest starting feeding raw diet which will help to remove the medications and everything else that may cause even more issues. Most vest are not educated enough about health issues but just emergency related issues. Try finding holistic vets and talking to them about your dog's issues. Remember, most vets are in it as business and if your dog is ill, they make more money then your dog getting well. Let me know if you need more info and I will be happy to help.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.
Great. Thank you for watching and your comment.
I have a corgi mixed with a big dog, so she’s like a big corgi. She’s now overweight, her short legs aren’t helping. I’m starting to lose hope but we put her on a diet. She’s extremely happy and can still run and do everything, but needs to still lose weight because it’s caused her leg issues
Follow the 3 steps mentioned in the video for better results.
My golden retriever cross Labrador so many people have said he’s over weight so thanks!
You are very welcome.
My dog is 15 pounds over weight and we feed him homemade food and he is really overweight
Focus on providing more mental and physical stimulation to reduce the stress and improve its lifestyle and physical activities.
I'd like to change my dogs diet but about every other diet is just way to expensive. Not everyone can spend 200+ dollars a month just for dog food
Just as much as fresh food you can to the current dog food that you feed.
I used to feed rice and vegetables. But it increased in weight. Now it got kibble which it hates. It's not eating at all. Don't know which diet to give. Any diet for weight loss? Should I put rice? Is meat necessary everyday or can I put egg?
If you want your dog to gain weight, you can add rice but if you want your dog to lose weight, you feed a species appropriate diet. You can do that either by cooking at home or feeding a raw diet. Here is a video to learn about home-cooked diet: th-cam.com/video/HUR1YswXSqE/w-d-xo.html and here is a video about a raw diet: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
@@SaroDogTraining thank u 🙏
Thank you! My Labrador is disabled and can’t walk far due to his legs not working properly. He is obese, on dry food and unhappy. Poor boy. He gets lots of love but I think you are right. I will change his food to home cooked and try that. Also I will try and take him for just 2 minutes extra walk a day. He only walks 500m now. Poor thing!!!!
Have you thought about using wheelchairs for your dog? That will help your dog to be more mobile and be more active.
Saro Dog Training we have thought about it and asked. Unfortunately his back legs don’t work well but his front legs are full of arthritis so he can’t pull the wheelchair. 😥
I would also look into feeding raw diet to start detoxing and getting rid of inflammations due to kibble or dry food diet. that way, his body can start repairing / heeling and empowering it to have an easier and healthier life from now on. It will make a big difference in its life.
My dogs are both healthy and we exercise them each day, generally. My Lab-ShiPai mix is athletic, but getting old and has some right rear leg issues apparently due to arthritis. She runs fast, so I like to let her run free during walks so she gets a workout. My other dog is a Mex. street dog that found me - she's impacted by fears of abandonment, but she has some issues over eating - always has an apatite and loves the large Costco dog biscuits - she's smart and hides or saves many biscuits, too, so she somehow finds on in the middle of the night and will be eating it. She was 18 lbs. when she found me, BUT she's probably about 30 lbs. - looks excellent, but she is a tad overweight; thus, I want to cut down a bit on her food. I make their food using brown rice and meat - this smaller dog won't eat the dry food when we add it, but the other dog will eat it reluctantly.
Try feeding fresh food that you know what you are feeding your dogs. Brown rice is hard for dogs to digest it so I wouldn't recommend that.
@@SaroDogTraining Some told me to use white rice, but brown rice is more healthy. Maybe I can use less of it. One guy recommends Oatmeal to thicken the food when it's too watery. I'm adding some things to the homemade food after seeing some of the videos on recipes for dog food. My big dog Spike is gone now, but he'd eat a bowl of food and if there's a pill or a pea that he doesn't like he'd leave the bowl and that pill or pea would still be there - the only thing he wouldn't eat!!!!!
Rice or oatmeal or carbs overall are not the ideal diet for dogs but if you want to provide some form of carb, cooked lentils are better.
@@SaroDogTraining I was just looking at lentils at Walmart, so I can add some. These are just fillers. One of my dogs attempts to eliminate some materials like Green Beans and Carrots, so those items need to be mashed up to avoid that. I want to cut back on rice. Occasionally they get loose so I watch to keep their droppings firm. I love when I'm in Mexico, because the butchers are like the old fashioned ones - sometimes they make meat and bones for the dogs - they charge $1 to $2 for a big bag that lasts for days. Sometimes, if I buy other meat, they give the stuff for the dog as a free gift.

I start cooking for my overweight labrador but i cant exercise her much cause she has arthritis
Do your best and try adding some mild daily physical stimulation.
My golden retriever is pretty overweight and I'm worried about her health, we've changed her food to home cooked vegetables mixed with a little bit of dry food, but the thing is she hates going out. Since Covid we've been taking her out for exercise less and less, which we shouldn't have. She refuses to leave the house now unless she desperately needs the bathroom, her walks are about 5 minutes, or a lot of the time she goes back inside as soon as she's peed. She walks very slowly and I haven't seen her run in a very long time. When you try to make her walk further she sits down and refuses to move, it's hard to drag her without hurting her, but a lot of the time she stands in position so firmly that you can't get her to budge at all. I've recently started to try to retrain her to play fetch and rewarding her with small singular dry food pellets as a treat when she brings the ball back to try to encourage her without over feeding her, but she's just not interested. I have to toss the ball very close by, and even then she just slowly walks to it, she won't run. After the first throw she loses interest and stops going after the ball.
How old is your golden?
@@SaroDogTraining About 6 or 7 years old
My German shepherd is literally the same and she will turn 6 this march. I am really worried about her health. My German shepherd is also a very picky eater she only likes to eat some lentins cooked with rice in the morning and at night she eats home made flat breads with milk and then immediately starts asking for treats because my parents have spoilt her with treats after dinner. But she literally doesn't want to move at all.
How is your baby doing though
@@vaishnavijaiswal7002Dogs will eat what we provide. If it is treated, they will eat treats or cookies or rice or caviar. So, be aware of what you provide and try to provide the best diet for your dog. The best diet is explained in the video.

I have two dogs a japanese akita and a siberian husky
That is interesting. So dried food contributes to weight gain in food? WOW
Yes, dry food or kibble contains mainly carbs and it tends to transform to sugar which causes dogs to gain weight no matter what brand, what formula or how much more or less a dog is being fed. The best choice is to select a species appropriate diet for your dog.
Thank you very much
This is really helpful!!
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching.

I have a Q about grains. What is the best diet for my nine-year-old Beagles? They have raw chicken for breakfast and a half cup of Hills Prescription Joint Care kibble from the vet. Dinner they have vegetable and meat casserole with rice or pasta. Treats are pig ears, bacon, ham or dried liver treat. And they have a bone every other day. Would you remove any of these items? Thanks, nice video and we will add 5 mins and a run in our walks 😀
Grains are not natural source of diet for dogs but it is OK sometimes, a little bit. What you are feeding is fine except that I would remove the Hills prescription kibble since it is not natural and actually adds more toxins to the joints. Instead I would suggest to add omega oil to the food that you feed. Here is a video which I show what I feed my dog and it is what I recommend. th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it!

Thank you, I just got a new dog and she is very overweight. Hope this will help.
Focus on the parts of the tips in the video and yo will see great things come to you and your dog.
Helpful video luv uu
Thank you so much. Which part of the video stood out the most for you?
That’s helpful. My dog is very active, he’s three. I roller skate while he runs and we go on long walks almost everyday and he has two brothers to play with also. He’s overweight though. We have no idea why... I think maybe he’s just naturally big. Or stressed I doubt it though he seems very happy. He sleeps in my bed with me.
Could be feeding kibble. Kibble contains 70% sugar in every bag which turns into fat. Change the diet and see.
My Lab is one and a half years old... He is 32 kgs... Is he over weight? We have started controlling diet and gradually increasing physical exercise... We mainly give him home cooked food... Dry food very little... One egg per day... veggies, curd and weekly twice chicken.... Now I have started giving only the white in eggs... What other changes I have to make sir?
Try giving the whole egg instead of just the whites. Also, try feeding whole, fresh meals and remove the kibble. Give chicken or any meat every day and the main meal with some veggies mixed in it. The other changes are mentioned in the video.
My plan is to use peas as they are healthier than a lot of dog treats. Use a handful one person upstairs, one downstairs and each encourage the dog to go up and down the stairs for 10 minutes a day. Would you say that would be effective? He’s not classed as overweight but he’s deffo 2kg more than I’d like him to be.
(To be clear!!!!) I do walk my dogs everyday too or at least as long as the weather/ temperature is safe for them. He’s a medium sized dog and got about 4 hours worth of walking yesterday which I hope helped him a bit.
Lentils are healthier and better for dogs. Going up and down the stairs are not a good ideal. too much stress to their joints and hips.
@@SaroDogTraining my stairs aren’t very steep there are not your typical stairs
@@SaroDogTraining dogs go hiking all the time I think my stairs should be fine considering each step is not steep
@@SaroDogTraining lentils have a little bit more carbs than peas and you can’t give as many to dogs as you can peas. Thanks for your advice tho

Hi and thank you! If a chicken neck is included how would you just feed half the portion? I have a rescue toy poodle who was 4 kg and very thin but, has been a bit spoilt by me (I’m working on her weight now) and need her to lose 1kg at least. Thanks
Yes you can! Simply include everything that you feed daily based on this formula. If you want her to be (or her ideal weight is) 20Lbs. feed her 200 grams of food. i.e. if 25 Lbs, feed 250 grams., if 50Lbs, 500 grams...
Every year, $85 for blood work, $45 vet visit just to get the prescription for diet dog food + $130 for each bag of food. Dogs knee joints at bad so he can't take walks farther than 3 houses distances away.
Focus on improving the 3 parts I mentioned in the video and your costs and pains of your dog should reduce.
Hi Saro what in human food can Igive to my overweight Jack Russel , I know u said that westbound jog with our dog but because I have had 3 major back ops I am not allowed to jog or Run do u have any advice for me thanks u Misti, from South Africa
I don't suggest feeding human food but human grade food is OK. Try feeding as much as possible fresh food. Also, just simply go for walks with your dog.
I have an irrelevant question, what is more likely for a dog to get cancerous tumor or a fatty tumor? My dog has a bump on her back I don’t know what it is.
Could be benign and it is just a piece of fat that just grows in an area (usually stressed area). Check with your vet and have them do a test to see if it is or is not.
My dog is not fat, but I am afraid of moving her to the BARF diet. I don’t know how a dog burns calories. Let me explain why I say this.
Humans burn about 3,200 calories to burn one lb worth of calories. What is that for dogs?
Also, I am afraid meat alone is not bad, but can lack some nutrients. Why do I say this?
What nutrients not in meat do I need to supplement in BARF diet?
Please consider the value of your time. Why do I say this?
Maybe if you provide links you can save time more than explaining your valuable answers here.
I am excited to hear what you have to say!
Ok so i have my parents Springer spaniel for 2 to 3 weeks shes the mother of my 2 and we swap when my bitch is in heat. My parents clearly neglect her and overfeed her especially cheese and do not exercise her much now she's her is there any point really focusing on her losing weight as it will just be reverse in a couple of weeks anyway
I just adopted a dog today and he is double his weight and just got neutered. Should I keep on walking running and jogging with him or should I hold on the weight loss
First of all, you have just adopted the dog so it will be stressed for now. Also had a surgery so it needs to heal completely. So, just walk it and allow it to get comfortable with you first.
I have an English cocker spaniel he's 1 year old and his weight is 16.91 is this obese or not? Hope I get your answer sir
Is that in kilo or pond?
@@SaroDogTraining pound
Sounds right. It is better to be light than heavy but try to see if you can feel his ribs when you run your hands over them. If you feel them, add more food. If you don't feel them continue as you've been doing s far.
@@SaroDogTraining oh ok thx a lot!
@@SaroDogTraining yes sir i can feel his ribs
Music too loud and unnecessary, hard to focus on what you’re saying
Hi my friend has a really cool American Johnson pitbull and she is a little overweight I am wondering because they can’t be walked very far due to bad neighbourhood I’m wondering what else I can do for her
Daily play sessions and training mixed with it at home would be great option.
My dog is overweight and struggles to run , he doesn’t like physical activities at all . He is always sleeping or laying I am worried about him can you pls suggest me a diet for my dog ,he is a vegetarian.
Dogs shouldn't be vegetarians. It is not species appropriate diet for dogs. They need meat to produce energy and live better. You have to feed your dog meat and veggies mixed. Try to get excited about going to parks and take your dog for hikes and such. Dogs mostly copy their owners energy. You need to get energized and get him out more. Here is what I suggest to feed your dog: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
please tell me ur dog isnt actually vegetarian, that would literally kill your dog if you put him on such a diet
I own a female Labrador retriever. Her weight has increased a lot. Her weight is 55kg. And she walks very less and gets tired soon. I am worried about her. Gonna try taking her out a bit longer. I hope it helps.
Focus on the 3 points of the video to make it easier and better for your lab. They are: diet, exercise and lifestyle.
A good focus is on diet - make certain you do NOT overfeed the dog and add water to the food to keep the calories in balance. Do NOT kill the dog with love and kindness - she needs to eat less. I have a lab mix female that's about 55 lbs. at 7 years old - she's extremely athletic but she's getting some arthritis, but she's always been the perfect weight. Maybe your dog has diabetes or something. A very strict diet should help her a lot. Given she's overweight, her life will be short and she's likely to have other health problems, too, so be prepared to lose her at some point and that's when you can give another dog a great life.
Any tips for dogs that can't run or move? My dog can't use one of her paws due to some genetic problems and lately she got so chubby that it's hard for her to move. Are exercises like yoga good for dogs too?
Adjust and chnage the diet.
Any comments on Authority dog food for adults. Been giving it to me Bonnie 4 years. Starting homemade food tomorrow. And Doggy day camp! Pronto. I so want her in my life for many years to come for us!
In my opinion, if you are feeding kibble or dry food, you are not feeding a clean, good and spices appropriate diet to your dog. All kibbles and dry foods are made the same way no matter what brand, how cheap or expensive they are. Focus on feeding a natural food to your dog which is basically raw diet.
@@SaroDogTraining Thank you. My vet tells me about raw, but I am coward when it comes to that. I did make a batch of sweet potatoes, spinach, a little rice for filler, egg shells for protein, peas for her breakfast. When should I start raw?
@@SaroDogTraining I can't seem to find your video on "saro dog training species specific diet for dogs"
No worries. Here is the video where I explain about diet and different food available. th-cam.com/video/oiShg9Chz0o/w-d-xo.html
You can start anytime. Don't worry. It is not dangerous as long as you take the proper steps and use common sense. I think you have watched the video that I feed my beagle raw diet. It's that simple.
My girlfriend's Dachshund, Darkie is obese and he is kinda old now. He is a cute lad and I love Darkie but since few days poor boy is sick and he has red eyes. Darkie's doctor said he has Cushing syndrome and he told us to give fish, rice and vegetable diet. Now the problem is that Darkie doesn't listen and he likes eating junk or only chicken. Today morning she gave Darkie vegetables but he is refusing to eat it. She had to give him milk but after having milk he puked. I am concerned. I told my girlfriend to be harsh on Darkie when it comes to diet. Its for Darkie's benefit only but I don't know if she can. Do you have any suggestions on how we can make Darkie follow the new diet because he doesn't like eating vegetables and stuff. Should I tell my girlfriend to still give him vegetables and let him starve if he doesn't eat it. If he starts getting very hungry I think he will definitely eat whatever we give him
Juice the veggies and mix it with the meat.
Even my dog is overweight and she doesn’t want to go for walk so what changes should I do and how she can go for a walk please help me out in this.
You need to encourage your dog to go for walks. You can also try getting your dog to swim. Swimming is a great, easy and healthy way of helping your dog to burn off some calories.
My Chihuahua mix is overweight and when we press her belly or pick her up she groans so this should be helpful 😀
Focus on diet to get that weight down - add water and make the portions smaller!!!! Do NOT kill the dog with love!!! I, too, have a Chihuahua mix - she was a desperate street dog all bones and 18 lbs. in Mexico, so today she's super healthy and seems a bit overweight, because she will overeat or eat a lot of doggie biscuits - she's a bit stocky in build, so I'm hoping to get her down a bit from her 30 lbs. weight - maybe 25-ish would be good for her.
I kinda need help. My grandma barely feeds her dog and he's very overweight. The dog need exercise but my grandmother can't walk him because it's too hot and grandma is too old. I'm not sure how to help.
Proper diet is the key and not the amount of food. Ask her to feed fresh food and try to walk the dog 3 to 4 times a day for 15 minutes each. Not too long which is doable for both of them, I hope. Here are some info about fresh food: th-cam.com/video/CcejBqqlk_E/w-d-xo.html
@@SaroDogTraining thank you very much. I'll let grandma know.
My dog used to be on a full kibble diet and I added before I saw this video q bit of wet food and ill try some raw meat
Try adding any fresh food as much as you can and your dog will love it.
I don't know what to do!! Help!! My dog has ballooned and I dont know what to do. He only eats 2 cups daily and we walk 2 miles a week. I know I need to increase his excersice, I hope it works
Coupd you share with me the diet. I didn't see it
Sure. Click on the following link to watch: th-cam.com/video/7P85BMCCboI/w-d-xo.html Also if you want a simpler version of a diet for your dog watch the following video but don't cook the meat. Just feed raw meat and vegetables. th-cam.com/video/-dTj8bsRhmE/w-d-xo.html
I have a shar-pei,lab,boxer mix, she needs to loss about 20 lbs we do the exercise no problem but I make her food myself (brown rice, a meat, and veggies) problem is she wont eat it if I add too many veggies and she will refuse to eat if I try and switch it up too much. What can I do? I can give her less but I feel like shes still hungry she will cry and beg for more
Make sure to feed enough food, everyday. Find out the ideal weight for her and feed her based on that. For instance if her ideal weight is 40 Lbs., you should feed her 400 grams of daily food. Also, rice is one of the causes of gaining weight so, I will remove that first. The other suggestion that i have try to focus on feeding green leafy vegetables and in form of puree or juiced. That will make it easier for her to eat. So, basically focus on feeding 75% meat and 25% veggies. I also suggest to feed raw if possible. Here is more info: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
Very helpful! My dog is overweight and I've been trying to increase exercise (now we make 30 minutes -1h walks) and to feed her less food but nothing really seems to change, so going by the video, I should try another type of diet?
Yes. Try changing the diet and adjusting the amount of food based on the ideal weight of your dog.
My dog is cocker spinal he is 2 month old so what type of food i need to give to him he usually bite clothes and other things how can i stop him to bite and how can i train him
You need to register to my online puppy training 101 course. sarodogtraining.com/courses/puppy-training-101/
My dog eat anything he got in his mouth insects woods mud even likee metal things too and he pee everywhere little little how can i make it stop
Got a 50 kg lab lmfao
How can one calculate the total calories of each menu?
Sorry meal.
I don't count calories. I find out my dog's ideal weight and shape and keep it there by weekly weighing it.
My chihuahua is 13 and she needs to lose a few pounds recommend by my vet but I'm not sure the best way to do it. I live somewhere cold most of the year and she doesn't like go be out in the cold her paws will freeze so I don't know what kind of exercise you would recommend for her since she is older. I feed her fresh pet and trying to cut back on what feed her and treats I was wondering if you had any suggestion that would help her lose weight. She is also a picky eater when it comes to dog food so I just feed her fresh pet since that's the only thing she will actually eat and like
What do you mean by feeding her fresh pet? Where do you live? Play these games at home with your dog everyday. These games will replace the physical activities your dog needs. th-cam.com/video/oMbxBg6EAfY/w-d-xo.html
Can bulldogs lose weight, too?
Depends on the breed and the breeding. But overall, you can help it to lose weight so it won't put pressure on its hip and joints.
My dog its 6 month and weighs 19kg 500grams and she is an american bully classic and this breed here where i live its unknown and really strange to find, and my Veterinary who is a well known vet, told me she is overweight and told me all the health risk, i reduced her food intake and she looks more slim and more agile but she is losing weight slow and also gets really exhausted after running and playing with me. Its being hard for her losing weight, i do not know if changing lower calorie croquettes or vegan croquettes?
It is not about the calories. It's about feeding the right food. Start feeding a raw diet and avoid lean meats. I will share a video where you can watch what I suggest to feed your dog. Also, don't focus on providing too much exercise. Over-exercising can cause additional internal and physical stress in your dog. Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
My dog is a beagle cocker-spaniel mix who is 12. He’s had some joint problems which has impaired mobility and he’s 80 pounds now. Luckily we just got him some weight loss food prescribed by the vet. On top of the food, how many walks should I give him a day and how long until I see progress?
I would skip the prescribed pet food recommended by your vet. They are not going to help with the weight loss. It will make your dog to lose lots of nutrients that it needs to lose weight and stay healthy. Instead feed home made food and walk your dog at least 30 minutes at a time, twice a day for the next 3 months.
Saro Dog Training okay. The food my mother got for him was some Purina OM weight management food. Thanks for the tip. I’m just happy to hear a 12yo dog can still lose weight lol.
My dog has no hope 😐this is what happens
We have four dogs and when it's time for food they don't finish their food and my dog eats all of the remaining food ,she does exercise if taking walks twice a day counts as exercising and she has sooo much energy but her weight is...... 😐
Feed them separately. Change the food to fresh food and then see the results.
Just take the food away before she eats it. :)
My dog is ALWAYS hungry no matter how much I feed her. Every hour she wants food so I give her slices of turkey. And now shes fat and the vet told me shes overweight.
Just because your dog is asking it to feed, you shouldn't be feeding. Find out the ideal daily food intake for your dog and just feed that. Also follow the guidelines in the video to improve even more.
ur dog has learned that if she acts hungry you will give her more food, take control of her schedule and dont let her control you, you gotta be the leader
Excellent Tips! Thank you. Do you think swimming is a good exercise for dogs? Everyday, I have a 1:30 hours of walk with my lab girl, but she is still overweight. I usually give some treats to her, she loves them, do you think treats are bad for dogs?
Swimming is an excellent way of exercise for an overweight dog. I highly recommend that. Reduce the amount of walk to no more than an hour a day. Preferably, brake it down to 2 half hour walks. One thing that I have noticed, even with my own dog, is that as soon as I reduce or cut off the treats, he lost the unwanted weight. Treats contain usually high calories, depending on its type and they need to be considered as a meal. Just figure out the daily intake amount that is ideal for your dog and count the treats as part of it.
Thank you!!!@@SaroDogTraining
How long does it take for a female lab age 5 to loose weight
It will depend on how bad the situation is. It will depend on your dog's metabolism, how consistent you will be to follow the new routine which is to reduce the food intake and replace it with clean and fresh, raw food, and add some minimal exercises on daily basis. Overall, it will take 3 to 6 months.
My dog is a male English springer spaniel and he is about 55 pounds and he is supposed to be like 45 and he’s kinda chubby and we take him on a half hour walk in the morning and evening but he’s still overweight?
You need to focus on the food that he is on. Change the food and add some light exercises and you will see drastic changes.
Hey Saro , I have a Overweight jack/russell rat terrier and I was wonder if there are Any Good kibbles? (He's currently been on Ceasar
Unfortunately there aren't any good kibbles because they all use the same concept to make. I would suggest investing a bit more in a fresh food section rather than dry food section. You can also try mixing some fresh food to the kibble which I explain in the following video: th-cam.com/video/rkLoKm4f_pg/w-d-xo.html
Hello , I have a 1yr 6mo old golden retriever and she's 37 kgs even tho she's not very tall , she's not obese but she is overweight and has a lot of fat , her diet is has very low calories and I give her excersise throughout the day , I make her run behind my cycle for 30 mins a day , I play fetch with her for 30-40 mins a day , I walk her for 3 km 2wice a day and at night I walk her on the treadmill on trot speed for 40mins and she does not seem to reduce much weight , show reduced a little a few months ago and I've been very consistent with the routine and she's still just as fat as before , please help me as I've looked for solutions everywhere and my vet also doesn't know Any solution , also she overheats very quickly and has very low stamina despite all the excersise so please help me she's everything to me
I feel as you are exercising her too much which can cause stress which may lead to being overweight. Also, try changing the diet to fresh food.
@@SaroDogTraining no she loves to exacersise and rests thoroughly the rest of the day and she was MUCH heavier before I did this and if I stop for 5 days she'll gain like 5 kgs so I can't stop but I'm not overdoing it tho it may sound like it bc she LOVES DOING IT AND IS VERY ATHLETIC but just rly fat so please give me another solution please
Hello Sir! I have a problem with the food part. I understand the downsides of dry food but we can’t afford to give much raw food for my dog, he is a allergic to most meat or human food. Would a canned food called “Chunkey Husky “ be good for him? He is a bit old and I wanna do everything to help him!
Yes you can but understand that he is not allergic to the meat. He is allergic to the garbage that is in the dry food bag. Your dog won't show any food allergies if you feed it raw meat. Try it.
@@SaroDogTraining oh alright! Thanks so much! I will try the raw meat, have a wonderful day!
Isn't rae diet way bad for dogs? They have gotten use to their kibble/wet food so when you put them on a raw diet their whole system gets mess up!
The raw diet is the best diet for dogs. The worst diet is kibble or dry food for dogs. You can learn all about the raw diet in the following videos: th-cam.com/video/7Vf9_bb_c5g/w-d-xo.html
How do you get your dog not to get into your food in your room when you forget to close your door
Train the owner to dog proof the home so the dog can't get to the food.
Ohhh ok
I have a fat dog I also have a few questions 1how many days will it take to see the improvement in my dogs weight and 2 is purina dog chow harmful to my dogs weight
If you do everything properly and follow the instruction, you should see weigh loss within a month. You don't want your dog to lose weight too fast as well. That is not natural and healthy. The longer it takes the better. The slower your dog loses weight the healthier. Please remember, that any dry food or kibble, no matter how expensive or how good the bag claims to be, it is not healthy and it won't help with weight loss. That is because over 60% of the kibble or dry food bag contains sugar in the form of carbs. So, instead, I suggest you to try feeding fresh food or raw diet. Here is a video of what I feed my dog and what I suggest to feed dogs. th-cam.com/video/7bvN_9tAFZI/w-d-xo.html
Sir my beagle dog is 2 years old and he is fat and mostly he sleeps at day and play also but he is fat so sir what to do we give him weight loss feed that we have asked from his doctor he is fat 😞 and he love walking
I explained the 3 things that you nee to do in the video.
OK sir thank you
Can I restrict my dogs diet to vegetables and brown rice so that he loses weight?
Dogs don't need rice, especially brown rice because they can't digest it well. Also, dogs need to have meat in their diet and can't survive on veggies and rice only. It will also cause lots of digestive and health issues. Dogs need 75% of meat and 25% veggies in their diet. Also, try t follow the 3 steps that I shared in the video.
Saro Dog Training Thank you so much🙏🏻will surely try
Hi Sir...Great video 😊 answers a lot... wanted to talk about our Milo..who's a 5 year old beagle.....is very brave....recently recovered from hind limb paralysis....which has gotten him to gain weight is 25 kgs now....we have shifted him to home cooked diet...can you recommended some thing for his health ?
Also add 3/4 of tea spoon of turmeric and ginger plus an egg daily to the food.
@@SaroDogTraining Thankyou very much..... will let you know the results :)
@@SaroDogTraining Sir, Also Milo was detected with Liver disorders.... Vet has instructed us to totally stop chicken in his diet.... Turmeric will be a good idea for him...your thoughts ?
Hello sir my dog only eats rice and meat and is about 9 yrs old and 40+ kg what should i do to make him fit
Remove the rice and replace it with some green leafy vegetables. Add an egg, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/8 of teaspoon ginger powder and it would be perfect.
@@SaroDogTraining i will try... let me tell you he doesnt obey or listen to anyone.. so gonna be difficult as he might no eat that
Dogs if they are hungry, will eat anything at anytime. How old is your beagle?

Hello sir., I have a 10 month old laberdog. Now he have 35 kg weight. Is this over weight ?
Also he has a
Pain on back left leg.
Do you have any suggestions?
For a 10 month old lab, 35 kg, I think is fine. As long as you can feel the ribs slightly is fine. Do you know what the pain s from? Is it an injury or a condition related?
Hello Saro,
i can't see any injury on his leg.
I feel it's like muscle pain
I would suggest to add some omega oil or coconut oil to his diet to improve the joint and the muscles internally.
hi sir my beagle female becm fatty cant move her back side som calcium n other medicine inj r gving her now, in her past she bcm two time mother n last she gv 7 pup on 10 september. plz suggest home diet to loose her weight. doc said that food should be gvn in one time now... help?
No worries. I can give you some ideas to work with. I also suggest adding some omega 3 oil in her food. It is a good idea to allow your dog to fast and just feed once a day but you also need to feed her good food in order for the body to be able to burn fat instead of sugar. If you feed kibble, then she will be burning sugar but if you feed raw diet, she will be burning fat. Also, try to give her 3 to 4 fast walks a day. Do this for the next 6 months and you will see drastic changes in your dog's health and weight.
