Why do neutered dogs tend to gain weight?

After a dog is neutered, due to the decrease in sex hormone levels, there will be certain changes in food intake and metabolism, making it easier for dogs to gain weight. Some owners are distressed and add too much nutrition to their dogs after they are neutered, which will only be counterproductive. Proper nutrition is sufficient during the recovery period from surgery.

/>Adhere to regular and quantitative meals, small meals and frequent meals. Appropriately reduce the total food intake and divide the food into 3-4 times a day. No additional snacks are usually given.
