Phil: a Californian dog who lost more than 30 kilos

What is so special about Phil when his future owner sees him?

From the first meeting, his future mistress immediately notices that Phil is not a dog like any of his congeners.

At first glance, she sees a big dog colossus, very chubby, who seems to be smiling at her but who has serious difficulty moving.

What will become of Phil?

Given Phil's undeniable overweight, the woman wonders how she could help this endearing doggie that she adopts immediately. Also, she decides to take him for a he alth diagnosis to a veterinarian. The latter confirms to him that Phil has a serious he alth problem and that to save him, he would have to lose many kilos.

The challenge set by the owner

Help Phil get back to his original shape! She will therefore take him out daily, make him do exercises again and again so that he burns as many calories as possible, which will considerably alleviate his he alth problems, and that he regains a weight adapted to his age.

The obstacle course begins for this exceptional duo

For Phil, since his weight was around 68 kilos at the start!!! and for his owner who must show perseverance to meet the goal she has set for herself.

Daily and gradually she begins to take Phil out in the morning for mini-walks because he gets tired quickly: he finds it difficult to move forward and very often slumps to catch his breath.

But as the months go by, Phil becomes more enduring, supports the increasing rhythm of the many exercises and walks that his mistress multiplies.

Efforts rewarded

After a year and a half, Phil has lost almost 30 kilos. Last October, he weighed only 40 kilos! which is a real courage for this dog and tenacity on the part of his mistress! Neither of them gave up on anything! (probably out of mutual affection!?!)

" To forget nothing of this superhuman effort made by Phil, his mistress filmed him daily. She says she is very proud of Phil! and decided to share Phil&39;s incredible transformation, which at first was not acquired, on social networks, especially on Instagram."
