Dog adoption is usually a complex process, because there are many dogs waiting for an opportunity in shelters or shelters. These do not always meet the requirements of potential owners, and vice versa.
That was the case of Margo, a friendly dog ??who was only a few months old and was significantly overweight, almost 55 kilos for a medium-sized dog.
This pitbull had a hard time moving and it didn’t stimulate her much to play with other dogs. It was a problem that could get worse, but for which they soon sought a solution: an ambitious weight loss plan that consisted of getting him used to having good habits.
According to the story collected by The Dodo, the first thing was to get her used to eating feed, even though it seemed less appetizing to her. At the same time, every day they went out in the morning for a walk, although she did not always show much willingness. Third step: find a stuffed animal with which to activate.
And everything went as planned. This dog progressively lost weight, until she weighed 25 kilos, more than half of what she weighed before.
Margo not only lost weight, she gained vitality. The dog now wanted to play with other dogs and she loved going for walks in the mornings. The icing on the cake was when she found an adoptive family, with whom she is now happy. They all agree: “He’s a dog again.”
