How do I help my Golden Retriever lose weight?
The principle of helping a Golden Retriever lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. First, the owner needs to adjust the Golden's diet promptly, feeding it low-fat, low-sugar foods and using fruits and vegetables to replace snacks; the dog food should also be a low-fat formula to reduce the Golden's energy intake. Second, feed the Golden small amounts several times a day, limiting its food intake as much as possible while making sure it doesn't get excessively hungry. Finally, take the Golden out to play and exercise regularly to help it burn excess fat. Note that the weight-loss process should be gradual - don't be impatient for results.

My cat is energetic, kneads and cuddles, eats and drinks normally, but has difficulty defecating
Difficulty defecating is likely constipation from poor gut movement, low exercise, low water, bad diet, or other gut disease. While energy and appetite are normal, increase water and switch to wet food to avoid hard stool, and give probiotics, honey water, or hairball paste; severe cases can use lactulose. More play helps; if no improvement, see a vet for imaging to rule out megacolon or blockage.
