Educational Overview
Hormonal-Related Overweight in Dogs
Some dogs may gain weight due to hormonal imbalances, which can affect metabolism, appetite, energy levels, and fat storage. Conditions involving thyroid, adrenal, or reproductive hormones may contribute to unexplained weight gain, reduced activity, or difficulty losing weight.
Supporting a dog’s healthy weight often includes balanced nutrition, appropriate exercise, metabolic monitoring, and veterinary assessment to identify underlying hormonal influences and maintain overall wellbeing.
Thyroid Issues & Weight Gain in Dogs
Thyroid imbalance in dogs, commonly linked with hypothyroidism, can slow metabolism and contribute to unexplained weight gain, reduced energy, hair or coat changes, and exercise intolerance. Affected dogs may gain weight despite normal or reduced food intake.
Because thyroid disorders require veterinary diagnosis and monitoring, ongoing weight or energy changes should be assessed by a veterinarian. Supportive care often focuses on balanced nutrition, activity management, metabolic support, and overall wellbeing, alongside professional guidance.
