Maintaining a Healthy Weight for Your Dog
Look Carefully at what you are Feeding Them
It is important to monitor what your feeding your dog on a daily basis. Are you feeding them food scraps from the table? Do you measure their food portions? How many treats do you give them per day? A lot of times we as pet owners lack control when our pets beg for food and give in when we think our dog wants to be fed or wants an extra treat. Try to keep record of what you are feeding your dog daily. Use a measuring scoop when you portion out your dog’s meals.
Help Your Dog Get More Exercise and Reward with fun, not food
Dogs make good workout partners! Starting with daily walks, off-leash parks, from hikes to jogging with them is great exercise. Also, by just letting your dog run around the yard is a great way to allow them to burn off extra calories. Bringing them to daycare will get them active for hours a day, jumping, running and playing with other dogs.
