“…Assim como nos humanos, o excesso de peso corporal vem se tornando uma preocupação frequente na medicina veterinária (BLAND et al, 2010). Fatores relacionados com os proprietários também são identifi cados como fatores de risco no desenvolvimento da obesidade em cães (LUND et al, 2006;BLAND et al, 2010;COURCIER, et al, 2010).…”

A obesidade é a doença nutricional mais frequente em cães, leva a uma série de alterações nas funções corporais e limita a longevidade dos animais. Vários fatores contribuem para o desenvolvimento da obesidade em cães, como genética, raça, idade ABSTRACT Obesity is the most common nutritional disease in dogs and may cause many changes in body systems and limit the longevity of the animals. Many factors contribute to the development of obesity in dogs, as genetics, breed, age, lack of physical activity, caloric food composition, type and form of nutrition, hormonal disorders, medicine, and factors related to the owners. Due to the lack of studies on the nutritional and environmental aspects involved in the development of canine obesity, the present study aimed to obtain information through owners surveys. Interviews with 254 owners of overweight or obese dogs were conducted atUniversity Veterinary Hospitals. Dogs were selected through body condition score (BCS) from 6 to 9, according to the scale described by LAFLAMME (1997) INTRODUÇÃOA obesidade é um distúrbio nutricional que muitas vezes não é diagnosticado como uma doença. Em cães, ocorre quando o peso está pelo menos 15% acima do ideal, consequente do acúmulo excessivo de

“…10 On the other hand, it has been proposed that an alteration in the body-temperature pattern early in life may predict further obesity in dogs. 11 Therefore, it can be hypothesized that the circadian system could be implicated in the effectiveness of weight-loss interventions. 7 Indeed, the major components of energy homeostasis, including the sleep-wake cycle, thermogenesis, feeding, and glucose and lipid metabolism, are subjected to circadian regulation that synchronizes energy intake and expenditure with changes in the external environment driven by the Earth's rotation.…”

“…One survey study of pet owners found that they were willing to engage in veterinary guidance, adhere to diet modification, use a veterinary weight loss product, increase exercise, and attend an obesity clinic to get their pet to lose weight before they considered eliminating treats. 30 Incorporating treats into the diet plan can preserve the pet-owner relationship without compromising weight loss. A discussion about treats should occur during the diet history and again while considering the optimal diet.…”
