Dieting And/Or Exercise To Keep Your Dog Healthy
So your dog is a bit pudgy. Do you immediately start sensible dieting, feeding him on bison steak or filet mignon? Or is there another alternative? You betcha there is. For example, consider how much exercise he’s getting. Do you take him for daily walks of 10-20 minutes? If not, then part of your answer lies right there.
Of course, you’re busy, aren’t we all these days? But stop and think for a minute, you surely can wangle some spare time out of your day for at least a brisk 10-minute walk with Pudgy, er, I mean Rover on a regularly scheduled basis. Maybe it might be in the evening after you get home from work, either just before or right after dinner. Even if you can only manage a single walk during the week, and on both weekend days, your dog will still derive some exercise benefit and slowly begin shedding a bit of that excess weight. Then, when you see some gain, or rather loss, you might try cooking up some of that bison steak. It’s delicious and you might even give your dog a small bite of it.
