No Leash Needed: Routine Care Helps Dogs Exercise Better, Cuts Down on Pet Obesity
As Pet Obesity Becomes a Growing Problem in America, Many Pet Health Advocates Have Made Suggestions That Encourage Owners to Adjust Their Animal's Diet and Exercise Routine; No Leash Needed, a Dog Care Facility, Explains How Dog Day Care Centers Can Also Impact a Pet's Weight
(firmenpresse) - ST. LOUIS, MO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/20/12 -- As many Americans have struggled with their own obesity, the health problem is now being recognized as a troubling trend among pets. A recent from The Huffington Post explains how this problem can be corrected through several practices that will help extend the life of a beloved pet. According to the report, many pets become overweight due to overfeeding or lack of exercise. In other cases, pet owners are simply not aware that their pet is obese and are shocked when they receive such a diagnosis from their veterinarian. No Leash Needed, a leading dog training facility, explains that while it is important to change diet and exercise routines, it is crucial to do so in an appropriate fashion.
According to the article, helping your pet lose weight can be as simple as limiting the portions the animal eats on a daily basis. It suggests that choosing a healthier pet food option, or varying a diet, will allow an animal to get its essential nutrients and prevent overeating. One innovative recommendation involves the use of food puzzles and games that allow a dog to get essential exercise while seeking nourishment. Dr. Marty Becker tells The Huffington Post, "With our dogs, we scatter kibble in the grass and let them hunt for it. No matter what your approach, make your pet work for his meals -- he will burn more calories and have less time for begging."
On the subject of exercise, the article recommends that owners increase walking and swimming activities. While exercise is certainly a great thing for pets, urges pet owners to take caution; just as humans need to gradually adjust to exercise routines, so do dogs. Despite such suggestions, many pet owners struggle to find time to exercise their dog multiple times a day in addition to busy work schedules. In a recent press statement, No Leash Needed responds to such problems by suggesting, "Day care is a great way to let your dog have a good time while burning calories. For dogs that do not play well with others, structured walks can really help your dog maintain a healthy weight."
