| Most pet dogs are too fat |
多數寵物狗過度肥胖 |
| A majority of pet dogs are too fat, according to a report by the Telegraph. A recent study found that 6 out of 10 adult dogs are classified as overweight or obese. A lack of exercise, being fed table scraps and being given too many snacks or treats are three factors for the rise in dog obesity. Researchers also found that dogs were more likely to be overweight if their owners were elderly, poor or if the owners were obese. Researchers took the measurements of 700 dogs and their owners at 5 veterinary practices around Glasgow, Britain. The results were published in the British Journal of Small Animal Practice. |
英國《每日電訊報》消息稱，大多數寵物狗過于肥胖。成年寵物狗中，60%體重超標或者肥胖。寵物狗缺乏鍛煉，殘羹攝取過多以及吃太多零食都會導致肥胖。研究人員還說，如果狗主人年紀較大、比較貧窮，或者他們自己本身就比較肥胖的話，狗的肥胖幾率會增加很多。研究人員在英國城市格拉斯哥附近的五家獸醫診所對700只一歲或一歲以上的狗及其主人進行了此項調查，結果刊登在英國的《小動物臨床學雜志》上。 |
