It always bums me out when I see a dog that is clearly wayyy overweight and you know they’re struggling.

Maybe it’s a genetic thing, maybe they don’t get enough exercise, or maybe they just have owners who don’t really care.

Whatever the case, it’s always depressing because you know those pups would love to be healthy, fit, and to be able to run all over the place.

Well, here are some photos that are going to inspire you!

All of these dogs lost a bunch of weight and they look absolutely fabulous!

Let’s take a look!

1. Good job, Buddy!

Walking off the pounds.

My 90yo neighbor hasn’t walked her dog in years so I volunteered to do it for her. So proud of Buddy’s weight loss!!!

A long road.

It has taken 2 years since we adopted her, but Reba has dropped more than half her weight and I couldn’t be more proud of her.

14. The diet worked.

Gracie still has the same smile.

My friends dog, Gracie, was starting to get a little chunky so he put her on a diet. 5 months later and Gracie is looking pretty fit!
