We all know it is sometimes a struggle to keep ourselves in shape. So we exercise, try to eat right and even do Yoga. But did you ever stop to think about our pets? I have six dogs and one cat and I can tell you a few are on the right side of the scale and a couple are overweight. Not because we over feed them, they just love to stay indoors and snuggle on the couch.
We have a huge back yard for all my Fur babies to run in, but we have also started taking them for walks, sometimes we walk three at a time, but we make sure they get their exercise in. But besides exercise our pets need to eat right also. I also feed them Hill’s® Science Diet® Perfect Weight, this helps me to balance my overweight pets weight and keep my other pets at their perfect weight.
Did you know that more than 50% of pets are overweight? I know that is a really huge number. Weight loss is difficult for everyone – humans and pets alike. Exercise combined with a healthy diet tends to work for people, but often pets don’t exercise as much as it might take to burn off the extra pounds. As with humans, excess weight can lead to other health issues for pets, so it’s important to address a weight issue early before it becomes a more serious problem. Even a little bit of extra weight can be major for pets! For example, five extra pounds on a small dog is over 30 extra pounds on a human!
Our pets depend on us to make sure their health and wellness is where it needs to be. That is why Hill’s Science Diet Perfect Weight is doing the 10 Week Turnaround campaign, so you can help your struggle with your pet weight loss. This is the perfect dog food for weight loss as well as a great cat food for weight loss. We want the best for ourselves so we should want the best for our pets.
The best thing we can do for our pet’s health is feed them proper nutrition every day. The Hill’s Science Diet Adult Perfect Weight Formulas are available at your vet or favorite pet specialty store. Want to find out more about pet exercise? Head on over HERE.

In pets, the Body Condition Score (BCS) has proven to be a superior method for assessing weight. It is a visual system, so scales are unnecessary, and experiments have confirmed that this simple method compares with techniques that are considered to be the gold standard for measuring body fat. Veterinarians use two BCS systems: a 5-point and a 9-point. Via petMD.com.
Our dogs love running around and playing catch and taking their walks. We want to make sure they are as healthy as they can be, so they can enjoy life and we can enjoy them!
