Let’s take the case to humans, Reductil, whose principle is Sibutramine. If you are overweight and find a wonder drug that makes them lose weight are we going to cram a meal and spend all day on the couch, moving only the arm to change the command?
My personal opinion: I just do not use in obese dogs, because in 99% of cases of obese dogs the problem is with the owner, in practice eating habits in your pet. Curious to see the strong relationship that exists between pets and owners with overweight. If we start a proper education regarding pet owner, many of these problems can be avoided.

In veterinary clinics are many pathologies. But among the more frequent those related to the reproductive system are the following:
Absence of jealousy: the months pass, the dog grows and … Or zeal!. If it has been 18 months and we have not observed any symptoms, we must go to the vet to diagnose the cause of prepubertal: this is how it calls the lack of zeal in our dogs.

The health of our faithful friend depends on you get good food and it includes both the quality of food offered and the amount you give and how to manage it.
One of the issues that arise most dog owners is how many times a day should be fed their pets. Whenever we feel hungry, do not stop to ask, what I will tell you, and that makes us think that we are not fed enough. Do not fall into the trap: we all know who are specialists in providing well worth it, nothing to increase the diet without talking to the vet and never provide our food.
How to Wash Dog’s Bed

Puppy Food
As happens in adults, the food needs of a puppy are different from those of an adult dog. In the case of the puppy, the food must meet maintenance needs, but also to ensure the needs of weight gain.
The food is responsible to establish a framework bone and muscle health. This is achieved through a balanced and very energetic, high digestibility and biological value, with more protein, vitamins and minerals than an adult.
Home or industrial power
Home ration is largely supplanted by the industrial food. And is that the latter, besides being more practical, offer better rigor in the composition, quality is more homogeneous and lower cost.
Canned or meatballs
Canned foods contain 80% water. They degrade more quickly and cost is usually about twice that of dry food. It is therefore easier and cheaper to choose the dry food, especially for medium and large breeds. But we must pay special attention to hydration of the puppy.
