Just like people, sometimes dogs put on a little extra weight, and it can be hard to lose it.<\/p>\n
This can happen especially after a long, tough winter when it was harder to take walks outside.<\/p>\n
Influencer Halley Kate<\/a> is dealing with this with one of her four Dachshunds<\/strong> named Oslo.<\/p>\n “Oslo needs to lose some weight because he’s a little chunky! So we’ve really been trying to burn some calories, take him on some walks,” she says into the camera.<\/p>\n She explains that they just took a 15-minute walk, and well, Oslo is acting like he just climbed Mount Everest.<\/p>\n He’s lying immobile on the floor in the middle of Kate’s kitchen while one of his siblings stands nearby, confused.<\/p>\n “He’s so tired! He’s in for a rude awakening over the next couple of weeks cause we’re getting him snatched for summer!” she says.<\/p>\n Ohh, Oslo, you may be a little chunky, but you are still oh so cute!<\/p>\n Weight gain in Dachshunds can be very common due to eating too many calories and not getting enough exercise. <\/p>\n However, there can be other reasons for weight gain, including heart disease, tumors, parasites, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, neuturing, and some medications.<\/p>\n Be sure to take your pup to the vet before just putting them on a diet to see what the medical reason is behind your Dachshund’s weight gain.<\/p>\n Once the dog has been assessed, then with the vet, you can decide what kind of food they should eat and if you should limit servings.<\/p>\n A slow feeder may also be an option.<\/p>\n Related: Dachshund Tries To Stow Away in a Jacket and We’re Dying<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Then you can also discuss the exercise plan, which may mean one or two additional walks per day or just going for longer walks.<\/p>\n Kate is the proud mom of now four Dachshunds\u2014<\/a>she adopted her fourth Dachshund late last year\u2014and she loves walking them in statement outfits.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/strong><\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade Pets<\/a> on Apr 20, 2026, where it first appeared in the Dogs<\/a> section.
