Your dog is a wonderful companion, and you really enjoy being able to care for her. However, you know that she has become a bit overweight and needs your help in getting back into shape. How can you alter your care to help with this goal?

Your pet needs you to help her lead a healthy lifestyle that balances her wants and her needs in an appropriate way. For example, she may want to eat several bowls of food at mealtime, but sticking to an appropriate portion size is a better idea to keep her healthy. Find a food she can enjoy and feel satisfied eating, while still making sure she has some healthy treats to enjoy as well. Help her get some exercise through regular walks and play sessions as well.
