We all know what its like to try to lose some weight, imagine a dog who is over weight and can lose a couple of pounds. Thats my pug Bella she needs to lose a couple of pounds, for every pound she is over weight , its like 30 lbs extra on them. We hate to diet and exercise can you imagine doing this to them. But with some basic knowledge we can have our pets at a healthier weight and in better health,.
Did you know that over 50 percent of all dogs are over weight, and the owners are doing nothing about it. Getting your pet on a daily routine can help them to maintain, a healthy weight.
Can’t Tell If Your Pet Is Overweight
The BCS {Body Condition Score is a good place to start as weight is not always a good indicator of pet overall health. Veterinarians use both the 5 and 9 point scale, so keep that in mind. Of course your vet is the best person to decide if your pet needs to lose a few pounds, but this is a good place for you to start
You can help your cat or dog be a slim,and trim with the help of Hill’s® Science Diet® Perfect Weight food and by developing a few healthy habits. One would be to measure out the food that you give your dogs, half of the recommended amount of food . And then we let them out in the yard to play.

I like the weightcheck tool on the site. I know my dog is overweight, not terribly but he is going to be 9 and has some arthritis in his back hips, any extra weight is only adding to the pain.
