They suffer from the same health concerns as overweight people. Please take care to avoid weight gain in your dogs, or, if they're already a bit generous around the middle, do put them on a diet. It's hard to get the weight off, but the health benefits are worth it. Lean dogs live on average two years longer than overweight dogs.
