Obesity is a huge problem among adults and children, but it is also a problem for our pets. Here are a few ways you can keep your puppy from becoming overweight.

It’s a lot easier to prevent obesity than it is to eliminate it, which means taking preventative measures to make sure your dog doesn’t gain any extra pounds in the first place.

First, choose the right diet for your pooch. A high-quality dog food is a must, but there are many different varieties depending on your dog’s breed and age, so make sure you check with a professional before you bring your first bag home.

Don’t forget exercise! You should strive to take your dog for a walk or a jog at least once a day. Playing in the backyard or going to the dog park are both good ideas too!
