6!!Tropes:
7
8* AssKicksYou: Pluto becomes so fat that his backside knocks Minnie through a wall.
9* BalloonBelly: Pluto gets one after eating all the dog biscuits.
10* TheCameo: Pete makes a brief appearance in the short as a dogcatcher.
11* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Had Minnie simply listened to Mickey and not fed Pluto the entire bag of fattening dog treats, everything would have been fine ''without'' intense exercise and nearly being mauled to pieces by angry mutts.
12* TheDeterminator: When Mickey and Minnie end up being attacked by a bunch of angry dogs, Pluto does not hesitate to come to their rescue and refuses to let the stuff he's tied to hold him back.
13** There's also Minnie, who refuses to give up on finding a way to slim Pluto back down.
14* EarnYourHappyEnding: Minnie had to go through ''a lot'' to get a fat Pluto down to his normal size, but it was worth it in the end... sorta.
15* ExactWords: Mickey tells Minnie to be careful in feeding Pluto doggie treats since they are very fattening, and should give him one only "when he's good". Unfortunately, since Minnie thinks Pluto's good all the time, she can't help but feed him the entire month's worth of treats.
16* TheFatEpisode: The normally slim and fit Pluto becomes ''heavingly'' overweight after Minnie feeds him to much snacks. Minnie spends the rest of the episode desperatly giving her best to have Pluto lose weight again.
17* FormerlyFat: One of the solutions Minnie tries to get Pluto to lose weight is to lock him in a steam room, mentioning that it worked for her. We then see her standing next to a picture of herself when she was morbidly obese.
18* GoneHorriblyRight: While Minnie's sauna attempt DOES work away Pluto's extreme weight, it also leaves him completely dried out. When she tries to fix it by re-hydrating him, she ends up making him even MORE bloated than before.
19* HeroicBuild: By the end of the episode, Pluto ends up ripped.
20* MailmanVsDog: The last solution Minnie tries for getting Pluto into shape is to dress like a mail carrier in order to get Pluto to chase her.
21* MirthlessLaughter: Minnie lets out some relieved laughter at the end.
22* MythologyGag:
23** In the brief second Pete is on screen, he's wearing the same dog catcher's outfit he wore in the classic Mickey short "The Worm Turns".
24** Minnie also tries to make Pluto wear a sweater, similar to the one he wears in the 1949 Short ''Pluto's Sweater''.
25* SaunaOfDeath: While he wasn't killed, Minnie's attempt to slim down Pluto by putting him in a sauna left him severely dehydrated.
26* SerialEscalation: When Pluto is trying to reach Minnie to save her, he gets tied up in a hammock. He keeps going, but the hammock gradually catches on a mailbox...then a car...and so on until there's a ''cruise ship'' and ''apartment complex'' in the mesh.
27* SpecialEditionTitle: This is a "Minnie Mouse" short, the 3rd episode to feature her.
28* TemporaryBulkChange: Pluto goes through no less than five. He begins the short at his normal size, then bloats into a treat-packed mound (Change 1). Minnie then locks him in a sauna to lose weight, and he shrivels away to nearly nothing (Change 2). She next tries to rehydrate him with water, but that just makes him grow to an even fatter size (Change 3). Some exercise reduces Pluto to his regular weight (Change 4), but said exercise results in Minnie and later Mickey being attacked by angry dogs. Pluto then rushes to their rescue and ends up extremely muscular (Change 5). That is a ''lot'' of shifting in less than four minutes!
29* TheUnreveal: We never find out where Mickey was planning to go for a month before coming back two days after he left.
