How to Help A Dog Lose Weight Just like with human’s weight loss is attributed to daily energy in aka calories in and calories expended. 1.When calculating your dogs’ daily caloric intake – also count the calories in treats, cookies, filled bones, chews and meal toppers such as gravy. 2.Substitute food rewards with praise and physical petting. Dogs love having their cheek scratched. Tell your dog in a sing song voice what a good boy they are. 3.Have the whole household on board with the weight loss plan for the dog. Sneaking the dog treats or food scraps is not doing the dog any favors. 4.Use a feeding chart – to ensure the household only feeds the dog once at meal time. Dogs can be very convincing at telling you they haven’t eaten in days. 5.Always use a measuring cup when dishing out the dogs meal portion. If the dog is overweight replace the cup with a smaller measuring scoop so the portion of food the dog is served is smaller.

3. 6.Add canned pumpkin to the dogs’ food. Pumpkin is great at making the dog feel full but is low in calories. Canned pumpkin can be found in the baking aisle of most major grocers make sure that it is plain with no added sugar or spices. 7.Exercise the dog – use the pedometer on your smart phone and measure how many steps you and your dog take together. Each day see if you can best the distance you went the day before. Aim for 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. 8.Find an activity that motivates your dog to get moving. Some dogs love playing fetch, if so throw a tennis ball for the dog ten times every day. If your dog enjoys swimming take them to a lake or a dog beach where they can play on the waters shore. If your dog is a digger create a sand pit with a mountain of sand that the dog can dig in and where it won’t ruin the rest of your garden. Make the exercise a ritual that you and your dog do on a daily basis for ten minutes every day. And if you are both having so much fun and find yourself playing together outside for longer than ten minutes we will chalk that up to a win-win. 9.If moving initially is painful for your dog, find an aqua therapy or hydro therapy center that will help rehabilitate your dog in water until they can get moving on their own unassisted. The water keeps the dog buoyed and puts less stress on their joints. 10.Keep fresh water readily available. A drink of water can make the stomach feel fuller and aids in digestion. 11.Do not allow the dog to graze freely throughout the day. Present the food bowl for fifteen minutes if the meal is not eaten in the allotted time pick up the food bowl and put it away. Do not present it again until the next scheduled meal time. 12.If there is more than one dog in the household feed them separately. To ensure that one dog is not stealing the others food. 13.An overweight dog will have their expected lifespan shortened by 10 months as compared to slim dogs. 14.Also an overweight dog will have a poorer quality of life than a slim dog as they will likely develop diet related illnesses and enjoy less mobility. Do Dogs Get Tired Of Eating The Same Thing Daily? No - Dogs do not need novelty in their diet. Dogs have less taste buds in their mouths than humans but their nose is a thousand more times more sensitive. So the way dogs and humans experience food is different. Fresh, whole food ingredients will smell aromatic to your dog when served at room temperature. Food that smells good to a dog will taste good. Dogs are not looking for texture and unexpected flavor combinations that humans enjoy. We are all guilty of anthropomorphism pets. Which means treating our dogs as human. That includes projecting on to them a desire to vary their diet for novelty’s sake alone. Resist this temptation. Be very cautious and anytime you introduce any new food to your dogs’ diet do so in a slow and methodical fashion. If you switch your dogs’ diet from one protein to another or a different carbohydrate it may result in an upset stomach, and diarrhea. If your dog is eating a homemade
