A very common symptom of overfeeding is when a dog's bowel movement is normal in the morning but soft at night. While some breeds appear to be more prone to gas, experiencing frequent gas that is out of the ordinary in terms of smell usually suggests something isn't quite right in their system.
Is it possible for a dog to overeat?
Overfeeding your dog can lead to obesity and other health issues. About half of all dogs are overweight or obese. Dogs that carry a few extra pounds may get the same health problems as overweight people, like heart disease or diabetes. All that extra weight can strain your dog's joints, too.
What happens if my dog ate too much?
If a dog eats too much or too quickly, canine bloat can occur. During the passing of the food to the stomach, there is a buildup of gasses, and the stomach begins to blow up like a large balloon. As gasses continue to build up, the stomach stretches beyond its limits and prevents blood circulation to the heart.
