This past winter was a rough one! There was lots of snow and ice and we ended up just snoozin’ in the house by the fire most of the time. Well, I don’t need to tell ya that isn’t good on the waistline! But, now the weather is clearin’ up and my Lady has found us a nifty 10 Week Turnaround Calendar to help us get back to our perfect weight. We aren’t doin to bad weight wise, but the calender helps us stay on track with our eatin’ and exercise. I ‘magine it’s kinda like you humanz when y’all have a plan. My Lady laughed cause we like our exercise and she says humanz don’t like that word. Sometimes I just can’t figure it all out WOOF!
We play ball a lot. Truth be known, we have enough in our pack to have our own ball team! My Lady says all that runnin’ will help us lose that dirty word – pounds – we put on while laying up in the house all winter and help us get back to our perfect weight! She wants to talk to ya today about pet weight loss and the 10 Week Turnaround plan and tell ya ’bout the FREE calender you can download!
Here’s my Lady to tell ya ’bout the 10 Week Turnaround Calender!
As I said before, it’s extremely important to keep your pet at their perfect weight. Overweight pets are prone to a couple of major diseases as well as physical issues connected to obesity. For example, overweight dogs and cats are prone to diabetes and cancer, and dogs carrying too much weight can end up with early onset arthritis as well as tendon issues. Hill’s Pet wants to help us keep our pets at their ideal weight.
Perfect Weight Starts With Proper Nutrition
Unless you have a pet with some sort of metabolic problem, keeping them at their ideal weight is all about calories in, calories out, and the type of calories they get. You can’t get your pet to its ideal weight if it constantly eats table food or has a double handful of treats three times a day. I limit my dogs’ treats to one morning treat and one dental chew after they’ve had their supper. Any more than that, and they start looking like chunky monkeys. In order to keep your pet at a healthy perfect weight, you need high quality food like Hill’s® Science Diet® Perfect Weight from Hill’s Pet. It’s a line of dog and cat food formulated for pet weight loss and weight maintenance.
Perfect Weight Requires Proper Exercise
Exercise is another absolute must for maintaining ideal weight in your dog or cat. Hill’s Pet wants to help you keep your pets at their ideal weight, but the food alone isn’t a magic bullet. Your pets need to be active. For dog owners, it’s just a matter of making the time. I always give my dogs outside playtime in the mornings and the afternoons. If the weather is good, afternoon play time can be quite long. On the weekends, I keep them outside as much as possible. If you are a cat parent, you’ll have to rely mostly on their diet. However, you can get them to play with toys as much as possible whenever you can. But you know cats. Their favorite activity is sleeping!
Part of our daily routine includes running. Lots of running! The pups love to rip and roar around the yard. They have plenty of room to run to their hearts content and I love watching them do it. It’s a perfect way for them to burn off steam and calories!
By the end of play time, Ozzy is looking a bit on the tuckered out side! But, you know what they say – tired dogs are good dogs! He will sleep good tonight!
Perfect Weight Requires the Proper Routine
Hill’s Pet knows that you want the best for your dog or cat. They also know that a routine is important to help get the weight off your pet and make them the best that they can be. That’s where their new 10 Week Turnaround Calendar comes in.
This calendar from Hill’s Pet will help you track your feeding, treats and activity habits regarding your pets. By using this calendar, you can see when and how much food your pet eats, the amount of exercise they get, and how you can change their routines to help promote their return to a healthy perfect weight. I highly encourage you to download it here and begin your 10 Week Turnaround with Hills Pet and their new line of perfect weight dog and cat foods. The Perfect Weight pet food is available at your favorite pet retailer and at Pet360 with an additional discount on Autoship. It’s a great resource!
If your cat or dog is on the chunky side, I encourage you to make full use of the Hill’s Pet 10 Week Turnaround Calendar and start them on a journey of weight loss and better health. Being at their perfect weight will save you money in the long term, as well as help keep their risk of cancer, diabetes, and joint problems low.
Go ahead and print yours out today! Remember to take things slowly! This isn’t a fad diet or a race. Refer to your 10 Week Turnaround Calendar in order to remind yourself where you are in the process and that each step is an important one.
Hill’s has come up with a perfect comb for a #perfectweight for our pets with their new diet and this handy calendar. Can’t wait to see the results.
Hmmm…This is interesting. I think my Myah might need this. The vet said she was a little overweight at her last checkup and I definitely want her to be healthy.
I have 2 pugs and boy oh boy are they expensive, one of them has to has a 57$ Bag of food. THEY ARE TOTALKY WORTH IT
I feel so bad because I allowed my little one to get overweight and I was not sure how to get her back in shape before it does permanent damage to her so I appreciate you post!
Science Diet is the best. I have been giving to my baby girl for 15 years now.
I have seen my husband over feed our dogs and the lack of energy is so obvious. When a dog is feeling good they are so much more responsive. It is very important to be consistent with feeding pets healthy food for them and the proper amount. Thanks for raising awareness with this blog.
I wish Ihad a dog to keep me company when I walk around
Thanks for the info!
This would be perfect for our black lab Zeus. He just had his annual check up and shots last month. We were really surprised to find that he was overweight and needs to lose about 15 pounds.
Science diet has only the best ingredients in it!
We have to try this our girls are getting a little hefty thanks for sharing this one.
Two dogs, Cosette and Roxie and one cat, Oliver owns my heart.
I JUST LOVE THE LITTLE DOGGIE COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER AND WOULD LOVE TO WIN IT FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN!
I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER AND A 5 YEAR OLD GRANDSON AND THEY SHARE A BEDROOM SO THIS CUTE HUMIDIFIER WOULD BE PERFECT IN THEIR BEDROOM AND THEY COULD BOTH BENEFIT FROM IT! I AM HOPING YOU PICK ME BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER OR ME COULD NEVER AFFORD TO BUY THIS AND I NOW HOW HELPFUL IT IS TO THE LITTLE ONES!!
I have a few over pets. One dog and one cat. I don’t really understand why since I feed the them all together and no one eats more than the other. I hate to put them all on diet. It doesn’t snow here in New Orleans, so I don’t have to worry about keeping them inside all the time.
Thank you for this. Our cat is really overweight. She’s been to vet after vet, but after she was fixed, she went from a lovely little kitty to WOW big kitty. She is honestly 21 lbs and has been that way for years. No fluctuating or anything. No matter what diet she goes on. So for her, the vet says as long as her diet is limited and we are following a routine (such as the one you posted) and we try to keep her active with toys (which we do) there isn’t a whole lot else we can do. We love our kitty so much…would love any ideas if anyone has any that we might not have thought of on getting her to possible shed some pounds.
this animal food looks like something i’d give to my animals
My Ralph is just the right weight. He is allergic to a lot of foods so its difficult for him
What beautiful dogs! One of our dogs is overweight!
Ozzy looks like he had a great time! You are so right that a tired dog is a good dog!
this was recommended by our vet…it is really working
this calendar should be a great reminder –thanks for sharing this post
Looks like a good way to get your pups in shape for the summer.
Hills really goes the extra mile by providing the calendar to help you track your progress.
