How To Help Your Dog Lose Weight

Dolly and Jackie’s Dieting Tips

Obesity in pets is rising at an alarming rate. The PDSA estimate that 1 in 3 dogs in the UK is overweight. As your vet will tell you, overweight dogs can expect the same kind of increase in disease and reduction of life expectancy that overweight humans face. In this video, Jackie shares how she got on top of Dolly’s weight issues, and the simple method she used to do so.

Dolly needed a cruciate ligament surgery on her knee, and her vet recommended a period of reduced exercise afterwards. To compensate for Dolly’s lessened exercise regime, Jackie reduced her food, but Dolly still put on weight.

To make matters worse, Dolly has always had a voracious appetite - and she’s armed with big, pleading, brown eyes.

Jackie researched the subject of dog feeding and dog weight loss thoroughly and came up with a method that allowed Dolly to regain her naturally svelte figure. In fact, she lost half a kilo in seven weeks.

Perhaps best of all, it was a process that meant Dolly still had a satisfyingly large serving of food, and Jackie, who is prone to giving in when an English Springer Spaniel turns on the charm, had healthy treats in store for Dolly.

So, if you’re interested in how they did it, watch this short, but informative, video.
