Your dog is depending on you to care for him as best you can. This means not only addressing daily care needs, but also taking the time to figure out how to help him with any issues that arise. You’ve noticed that he has become a bit overweight. How can you help him with this?

Your pet needs you to take a good look at his lifestyle to determine what he needs from you in terms of helping him get fit and healthy again. He may need some additional motivation to get up and moving, so be ready to address this through walks and play. He may also need changes to be made to his eating habits. This could mean consuming a different type of food, eating a more appropriate amount, or focusing on a better balance between regular food and treats.
