It is known that 50% of dogs in the United States suffer from overweight. At the same time, the results of the new study conducted by the A&M University and the Dog Starias (DAP) showed that several factors can affect this at once.
According to the results of a new study, sports breeds of dogs (retrievers, spaniels and setters) are approximately 10% more often motivated by food than other dogs.
Scientists also found that the dogs that live in urban conditions and in houses with several dogs have more often found higher food motivation. Probably, this affects the level of physical activity of the pets and their access to food.
According to a new job, dog owners are more likely to monitor their diet if they themselves report that the pet is overweight, and not just if the veterinarian is talking about this.
