Pro Tips for Doggy Dieting

Marty and Laura take on the “weighty” conversation around doggy dieting. Research proves conclusively that dogs kept at a healthy weight live two years longer. How pet owners reduce or manage weight for their pets can be challenging and often requires some personal introspection as well. Our best pro tips for doggy dieting:

· Move more, eat less … There’s no such thing as doggy Ozempic

· Replace 50% of kibble with vegetables

· Measure the food, don’t just guess

· Feed two meals, don’t free feed

· Use kibbles from the pre-measured meals in place of treats

· Consider using a slow-feeder bowl

· Ice cubes and fruits or vegetables make great snacks

· Change your dog’s diet to a low-calorie, high-fiber alternative

· Talk to your veterinarian about prescription metabolic diets

· Walking, swimming and other gentle exercise will help burn calories

· Altered dogs automatically need 25% less food as their metabolism slows down
