You don’t want to think about the day when your smol awoo grows up and loses its puppy fat when you welcome it into your home and heart. However, the day will come when your pupper matures into a dog. And it continues to expand. And it’s still growing. And it’s not going to stop. You look through the Canine Instruction Manual that came with your dog and realize—aha! You forgot it’s one of those enormous dog breeds that makes you wonder if Clifford, the Big Red Dog, is real.

Bored Panda has gathered photos of the biggest, most playful, floofiest, and young-at-heart dogs that you’d want to hug all day and lose yourself in their fur, so scroll down and upvote the bestest boys and girls. Is your heart yearning for more colossal dogs who have no idea how big they are? Here, here, and here are some of our previous big doggo posts about dogs who forgot their size.

However, just because a dog is large does not mean it is overweight (aka a chonky chonk). All jokes aside, if you want your family pet to live a long and happy life, it’s critical that you assist it in staying lean and avoiding the dreaded “overweight zone,” which necessitates additional effort on your part. The PDSA, the UK’s leading vet charity, spoke with Bored Panda about canine fitness and doggo diets. If you want to learn how to help your dog live a happy and healthy life, keep reading our full interview with them.

It’s better to err on the side of too little food than too much when we’re living in a society of overabundance, then. What’s more, you should do a bit of personal research to learn what the ideal weight for your dog breed is for its age. If in need, talk to a professional to get their take on what’s what.

Getting serious about health means putting in the time and energy to make your dog’s life better. And that means treating your pet’s health like you would your own if you’re all about fitness. So get your kitchen scales out!

“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.”

Just remember—you’ve got to take into account any leftovers of extras that you might be giving your dog. So no munching on cheeky treats in secret!
