A survey done by Association for Pet Obesity found that 53% of our dogs are <strong><a title=\"Global Obesity Concerns\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/06\/half-a-billion-extra-people-on-the-planet-the-result-of-global-obesity\/\">overweight or obese<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>Overweight or obese pets also run <strong><a title=\"Cancer Risk in Overweight Women\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/05\/weight-loss-reduces-risk-of-cancer-in-overweight-women\/\">the risk of getting diabetes and cancer<\/a><\/strong> as well as other conditions. Not to mention that they probably don&#8217;t feel as well. What may seem like only a couple of pounds overweight to us is actually a larger percentage for our dogs. For example, a chihuahua that weighs 7 pounds means that it&#8217;s 17% overweight. That&#8217;s equivalent to a 5 foot 4 inch tall female weighing 167 pounds. A 15 pound dachshund would be 25% overweight and is equal to a 5 foot 4 inch female weighing 181 pounds!<\/p>\n<p>Keeping your pet active is a great way to keep them at a healthy weight. The following slideshow includes four exercises that will get you both on the right path to a healthier future.
