Yes, animals will overeat. Generally their diet is limited, so it usually isn't a huge problem.

I know that animals can overeat and get overweight. But could an 80 pound golden retriever ever balloon up to 3 or 4 times their normal body weight. Have you ever heard of a 240 or 360 pound golden retriever?

My sweet golden loves her treats and she weighs a few more pounds than she probably should. She would weigh a lot more if I allowed her to have her to eat bagels and pizza. But I simply can not envision any food loving animal eating themselves to two or three times their normal size.

Obie the dachshund was nearly 80 pounds. Dachshunds are supposed to weigh 16-32 pounds and a 32 pound dachshund would be a BIG dachshund.



He got new owners and they helped him lose weight, but the owners that let him get that fat were feeding him lots of fast food and garbage. So sad.

That is the saddest thing. I'm glad he got new owners.

Awww, poor baby! Some people truly do suck. I'm so glad that Obie has a new home!
