In winter, when it is frosty and cold outside, many people want to please their pets with food.

Not everyone thinks about the fact that excessive amounts of food can cause some health problems for their pet.

According to the Moscow Agency, the President of the Russian Cynological Federation Vladimir Golubev recommended that dog owners not overfeed their animals.

It is noted that in cold weather, dogs become less active, so they risk gaining excess weight.

According to Golubev, excess weight can negatively affect the health of the pet.

He also advised not to force the dog to walk for a long time in the cold, and to reduce the amount of food when the pet's activity decreases.

Golubev also emphasized that before adjusting the diet, it is better to consult a veterinarian.

It is added that dogs living in enclosures need to be given warm food, including meat broth. This will allow the animal to warm up.

In addition, it is worth taking care of the insulation of the booth and enclosure.

Previously, it was reported that dogs were being trained to wear winter clothes .
