Obesity in Rottweilers & How to Prevent it !

One of the best ways to prevent your Rottweiler's health problems is to keep his weight in a healthy level. 

Obesity in puppies

Even if your Rottweiler is a puppy it must always be in a good trim form, not too fat. The weight in an abnormal level can cause the puppy stress and serious bone problems. 
Puppies should be fed three times a day until they are 6 months old, after they are six months old you can feed them two times a day.
The feeding time is important, it is highly suggested that the time should be spread equaly. For example, 7 AM - 1 PM - 7 PM. 

Preventing Obesity 

The best way to prevent your dog's obesity is keeping them active with excercises and to keep a good feeding schedule, do not ever over-feed your dog. Also note that the excessive amounts of fat and calories in human foods can easily lead to obesity in dogs.
