Can dogs have eating disorders? My mom keeps calling my dog fat but she's not what if she starts thinking she


What if she starts thinking she's fat, will she stop eating? My mom did this to me when I was growing up. I had a little bit of baby fat, I was only 50 lbs overweight! She was so mean. Now I'm too skinny so she stopped bugging me but she keeps telling my dog she's fat. I'm worried.

Yeah I am. Really. I don't know. I wonder. When I try to give a treat to my dog, my mom yells at the dog and tells her not to eat it because she's fat. :(
But she's not fat. My mom is really mean.

dogs cannot understand the human language so no, your dog will not be affected. there is nothing to worry about

is your mum a health freak or dose she just wanna be mean your dog will be fine i use to think my dog was underweight cause she was not like the size my other dogs but the vet said she a great wight for a lab cause they can be a bit chubby. just as long as you keep taking her walks and let her run about your dog will be fine with the wight

dogs don't think like humans, unless they are sick they will eat anything. I call all my dogs fat and they eat just fine.

Are you being serious?

Dogs are funny about the human language. They basicly judge what you are saying by the tone of your voice and your body language. Most dogs respond to commands such as sit, lay down, shake, speak, roll over, and what ever else by hand gestures. 'happy
If you mom calls your dog fat, and uses a "happy" voice...all she knows is her owner is happy with what ever she is doing. For example my parents have a dog that is dub as a brick! She is a very loving dog, but very dumb. I can tell this dog "Oh, you are such a dumb dog, you don't know any thing, you are sooo dumb," but as long as I use the "happy" tone of voice that I use to tell the dog she is a good dog...she has no idea. Evan when I tell her she is dumb in the "happy" voice, she wages her tail, and I can see her doing her doggy smile. I told my hubby about how you ca say any thing to a dog, as long as you use the happy voice and it makes them happy. He couldn't stop laughing hearing me call the dog stupid, and she was sooooo happy and excited that I was using the happy voice it didn't matter what I said.
If your mom has had this dog from the time it was a puppy, it has probably gotten used to her rantings, and really doesn't care.
Your mom on the other hand may have a poor self image. She may pick on other people or her dog in this case about being fat, because she feels bad about being over weight her self. The dog should be fine, I would be more worried about your mom.

P.S. sorry about the spelling...my spell check isn't working:P
