Fancy is my Pom in danger. Her chronological age is 4, but her real age is 8.
While Fancy's health has lowered her quality of life, it’s not too late to turn back the clock. These 3 tips are inexpensive, fun and lifesaving:
1. Portion control
Feed overweight pets out of a food puzzle instead of a food bowl. This institutes portion control because a food puzzle has measure lines.
2. Healthy snacking
Try baby carrots, blueberries and celery. And give your dogs positive emotional reinforcement instead of dipping into the treat jar!
3. Go for a walk
A no-brainer for pet owners! Get out there and walk 10,000 steps a day! This is good for owners and pets – invest in pedometers and “petometers” and walk back to health.
