\"Lakewood<\/a>Has your pup put on a few extra pounds? Perhaps the vet has recommended a weight loss regime? If so, it\u2019s your job as a pet parent to help your pup gain control of their health.

Get Active! <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first step in any weight loss regime is getting off the couch. Chances are, if your dog is carrying some extra weight, you are too. It\u2019s important for your health, as well as your pup\u2019s, to exercise regularly. Find an activity you both enjoy. From hiking to jogging, you have so many options, particularly during Colorado summers. Make a point to schedule at least some exercise every day and make sure that 3-5 times a week, you\u2019re allowing for a full hour of activity. You will both feel the benefits immediately and your bond with grow as a result.<\/p>\n

Change up Your Diet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The second critical component of a weight loss routine is diet. Don\u2019t look at this as a short-term fix, find something you can stick to. Ask your vet for a recommendation on dog food and stop feeding your pup table scraps. You too can make sustainable adjustments to your diet, so you can lose weight right alongside your best friend.<\/p>\n

Set a Goal <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Also chat with your vet about your dog\u2019s ideal weight. Their healthiest weight will depend upon age, breed and several other factors. Set a goal to help your pup reach this weight and monitor their progress along the way. Before you know it, you\u2019ll both be looking and feeling your best.<\/p>\n
