It is important to promote positive lifestyle for your pet.  Cats and dogs are both prone to becoming overweight without exercise and a healthy diet.  Here are a few tips to help you improve your pet’s fitness and avoid obesity.

Pet Health Tips:

• Spend Time Outdoors – Now that the weather is warm, you can take your pets for a walk or let them play outside.  Running, jumping and chasing are natural ways to get your dog energized.  There are plenty of outdoor enclosures available that allow cats to run, roam, and pounce outside too!
• Consistent Exercise – A moderate level of exercise each day is ideal for a fit and healthy pet.  Keep toys handy to keep your dog or cat energized for a play session, whether indoors or outdoors.
• Portion Control – Feed your pet using a designated measuring cup.  This is a great way to make sure you know exactly how much food they are consuming each day.  This can keep you from over feeding your pet, especially as your pet ages.

If you are concerned about your pet’s fitness and nutrition, we encourage you to contact our office.  The experienced veterinarians at Bregman Vet Group can provide you with advice for your pet’s individual needs.
