Generally, dogs cannot lift their necks after they weigh more than four kilograms. Because dogs gain weight with age and have fewer nerves and blood vessels in their necks, they will feel uncomfortable and painful when their necks are pulled.

Furthermore, when an adult dog is overweight, its spine cannot bear the weight of the body, so it can be pinched by force. The back of their necks will cause them so much pain that they may not even have the strength to move. When lifting your dog, you should try to avoid using this method to avoid causing harm to them.
