outgoingChoosing the Best Dog Food for an Overweight Coton De Tulear
Choosing the correct dog food for your overweight Coton De Tulear is important and a peek at the incredible timeline of this breed can help us to see why. The landscape of amenities available has changed drastically since the 16th and 17th centuries when the Coton De Tulear fist came on the scene and could explain why this breed can be overweight.
The History of Coton De Tulears and Obesity
The Coton De Tulear hails from Madagascar where it enjoys island life. It is thought that pirates brought the Tenerife dog to the island and an island dog bred and created the Coton De Tulear somewhere around the 16th and 17 centuries. The ruling island tribe of the time domesticated the dog and never allowed the Coton De Tulear to be ferrel. At some point the Coton De Tulear became exclusive to Malagasy royalty. At this time royalty were the only people allowed to keep a Coton De Tulear. These little characters like to prop up on their hind legs to perform, making the Coton De Tulear a show piece for royal families.

The Coton De Tulear probably had the best access to dog food at the time, however the selection was probably not nutritionally good. Today the Coton De Tulear is a lovely family dog enjoyed in America. The signature cottony coat of the Coton De Tulear may be the result of a single gene mutation. In the 70’s Madagascar released a stamp donned with the image of the Coton De Tulear, their national dog. The current day lifestyle of the Coton De Tulear is not very active unless special activities are employed. Although the Coton De Tulear has always had access to the best,now there are options that are nutritionally tailored to their specific needs. The dietary intake is probably less than it once was for the Coton De Tulear and dog food should be tailored to that decrease.
