CALCULATE CALORIES
Knowing the right amount of calorie required for
your dog will help you to understand how much
you have to feed. Asking a veterinarian to
provide an estimated calorie intake for your dog
is a good option. Another simple way to get an
idea is to divide your pet's weight by 2.2 and
multiply this figure times 30. Add 70 to the
result and you will know how many calories your
overweight dog will require.

VITAL VEGGIES
Baby carrots, green beans, celery, broccoli,
cucumbers, sliced apple, and bananas are
nutritious tasty food which is highly
recommended over processed store-bought treats.
At least 50 of the veggies should be green
leaves as they are full of vitamins,
antioxidant, and minerals like lettuces,
dandelion leaves, parsley, etc. The rest 50
should consist of sweet veggies celery, green
beans, green peas, etc.

TACTICAL TREATING
Dogs should be rewarded with fun rather than
with food unless she earns it. Dog owners often
give too many treats to their dogs which hamper
their health causing overweight. However, single
ingredient treats like sweet potato, salmon can
be beneficial as it helps to keep teeth clean
and promote mobility. It is better to provide
non- food reward as a few extra calorie intake
per day can lead to a major change in a year.
5
DAILY WORKOUT
A daily workout for your dog is vital to loose
extra weight and is an effective way to keep
them fit and healthy. It is recommended to start
with some brisk walk at the start and later
increase the workout intensity with some quick
walk, fetch game as your dog gets habituated
with their daily routine. Research proves that
daily workout can lead to a pain and
disease-free life.
6
MONITOR WEIGHT
Weekly or bi-weekly measurement and monitor of
your dog's weight will help you to make your
plan and restrict the extra calorie intake. It
is not advisable to rely solely on dog's look
and feel as it may lead you to give them too
much food. As dog ages, their caloric need
changes and so regular monitoring of your dog
will help to prevent any bigger problems in
future.
