Typically, big fat dogs are those that are overweight compared to their breed standard. Obese dogs may require different dietary needs from those dogs that are healthy weight. Large and fat dogs may require increased exercise and portion control to revert to healthy body condition. They may also benefit from a diet high in fiber and lower in fat to help correct their weight, energy levels and ultimately improve their overall health. When considering food for your big fat dog, look for specific ingredients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, that support your dog's joint health and metabolism. It is also important to choose a food that fits his activity level and age. This will help ensure your dog gets the calories he needs.
