Once a lapdog, always a lapdog.

Anyone who has ever kept a dog knows that they grow up way too fast. Their small “awoos” turn into big boofs and woofs within weeks. You start off by carrying them down the stairs, but a few months later you’re afraid you’ll break your back if you do so. Some dog breeds are naturally huge and big boned. So no matter what you feed them, they will grow taller than you. And trust me, cuddling up with a big doggo is the best thing ever. It is a false myth that big dogs are aggressive. In fact, big dogs are usually very well-tempered and well-behaved. It all depends on how the owner raises them. If you’re violent towards your dog or neglect them, they will be aggressive. But if you raise them with love and care, they will be the best behaved dogs.

Our big babies don’t realise that they’re growing up really fast and forget what size they are. So they think its still okay to lie down in our laps. And it is. Who is stopping them? If you want to see big, cuddly dogs today, you’ve come to the right place. Scroll down below to see 50 dogs who have no idea how big they are:

The PDSA talked about how important a dog’s diet is in an interview with BoredPanda, “Making sure they are fed on a complete diet which keeps them at their ideal weight is important to keep them fit and healthy. As a general rule, we tend to give our pets too much food which can lead to obesity and reduced activity levels.”

It is important to decide how much food is “just enough” for your dog. “The best way to monitor your dog’s food intake is to weigh both them and their food. You can discuss your dog’s weight with your vet and check their body condition at home. Once you have a starting point and know what their target weight should be, start weighing and monitoring their food and treats to see how much they’re getting,” the PDSA said.

“You might want to try weighing out their portions at the start of the week to make it easy to keep track of what’s being fed. Reweigh your dog after a few weeks and see if they’ve gained, lost, or maintained their weight, then adjust their amount of food to fit your goal.”
