Help Your Pooch Shed Those Extra Pounds!

      
We all know that a little exercise goes a long way while trying to keep fit, not only for humans but for our pets also.  As a dog walker, I know that not all pet parents have the time to exercise daily with their pets, and there is nothing wrong with that.  I have pet parents who are busy with careers and new born babies.  They love me because I allow them the flexibility to enjoy their pets without having to take an hour out of their already busy day to exercise their pet.

A dog walker is a great way to offer your pet the well deserved exercise they need.  There is also something you can do for your pet that doesn't require additional time.  I have tested and proved that cutting back on your pets daily dry food intake and supplementing with carrots and green beans as a filler also helps your pooch shed those extra pounds.  The carrots and green beans help your dog feel full without adding extra calories to their diet.

My golden retriever weighed 72 pounds on January 31, 2011 and as of today, February 22, 2011 she has already lost 6 pounds!  All this weight lose is due to adding a small amount of extra play/exercise time into her day and cutting her dry food back and supplementing with carrots and green beans.

I buy fresh veggies and prepare them for the week so I don't add extra time to her daily feeding.  But you could purchase frozen veggies that are already clean and cut up and add that to your pooches food.  No extra time for you, and your doggie gets the filler they are looking for to feel full.

Ask your vet!  They will agree...
