Dogs - Q&A's

zurück

My neighbor's dog is extremely fat. Is this animal cruelty?

Fat pets suffer from the same diseases as overweight people: Diabetes, joint and circulatory problems. It can legally be seen as animal cruelty when animals are fattened up by owners and can no longer move in a way that is appropriate for the animal - but this must be examined on a case-by-case basis. The best thing to do is to seek out a conversation with the dog owner or report the incident to the veterinary office.
