Boerboel Obesity

Often I hear of people requesting the largest puppy. Let me tell you that is worrying because in the back of my mind I am wondering is this person going to try to grow this puppy as big and fast as possible. Extra size does not add up to a better dog.

Is a one hundred and fifty pound dog large enough. If not how big do you need your Boerboel to be. Let me warn you that this is the best way to ruin your puppy. there are numerous health risk that are associated with dogs being overweight. It almost as bad as it is with people. Actually the statistics mirror those of people. Diabetes osteoarthritis high blood pressure heart disease are ailment just to name a few that obese dogs suffer from.

I have heard of some outrageous things that people do to make the dog feel as if they are loved. you heard it hear first the dogs love is unconditional. there is nothing you can do to make the dog love feel extra love. Including feeding your puppy food that you should not even eat like Macaroni and cheese.

The truth is that your are doing the dog a huge disservice and even could go as far to say that you are shortening the dogs lifespan. It can be a hard pill to swallow but the truth is this type of spoiling that you may apply to your son or daughter is just as counterproductive.
