From Roundness to Happiness

Canine obesity is an increasingly common health issue, often linked to an unsuitable diet and lack of physical activity. An overweight dog isn’t just less active, it’s also more prone to joint pain, heart problems, and even diabetes. Weight gain can develop gradually due to overly generous portions, too many treats, or food that’s too high in carbohydrates.

To help a dog return to a healthy weight, diet plays a central role. Choosing fresh, natural meals rich in high-quality animal protein helps preserve muscle mass while limiting fat accumulation. At Bon & Bone, raw meat–based recipes are formulated to meet dogs’ real nutritional needs without unnecessary excess. Vegetables such as squash and green beans, naturally high in fiber, promote satiety while supporting healthy digestion.

Portion control is essential. Adjusting the amount of food according to the dog’s weight, size, and activity level helps maintain proper calorie balance. Fresh water should always be available, as good hydration also supports metabolism. Regular exercise complements this healthier lifestyle, a few brisk walks or active play sessions are enough to boost your dog’s energy.

Returning to a simple, fresh, and balanced diet often naturally corrects excess weight. With appropriately designed meals like those offered by Bon & Bone, and a bit of consistency, dogs can regain their lightness, vitality, and everyday comfort.
