Christmas leftovers to share with your dog
During the festive season, it is tempting to share Christmas leftovers with your dog. Holiday food, however, is often greasy, covered in sauce and quite salty, so you should be mindful of the leftovers you give your dog. Salt in particular is not good for our dogs in large quantities and they already get the quantity they need through their diet. Something else that is important to note is that your dog should primarily get its daily calories from balanced and complete dog food. Both to ensure your dog gets the nutrition it needs, but also to prevent excess weight.

Overweight and obese dogs
Obesity is first and foremost a lifestyle disease, and the most common preventable disease in dogs. The sad truth is that just a body weight that is 10% above your dog's ideal weight decreases its lifespan by one-third and predisposes him/her to serious health problems.
