I think we are starting to realize today more than ever that all pet food is not created equal. It is the same for us humans. There was a time that it seems like we took for granted that if a restaurant could serve the food and that the grocery store could put it in the shelf then it has to be safe for us. If only we would have known how untrue this was decades ago. Over the past year I have been removing all of the processed junk foods from our home and this also provoked me to look at our dog’s food. I was blindly buying dog food, yeah I knew some brands were more expensive than others and figured maybe they had some better grains, maybe some meat and veggies, but I had no idea just how different they were.
Did you know that more than 50% of pets are overweight and with pets being smaller than us, a few extra pounds can be a huge issue. In fact 5 extra pounds on a small dog is like 30 pounds on a human. Hill’s Science Diet recently introduced their Perfect Weight formula for small and toy breeds, available in two bag sizes, 4lb. and 15lb. 70% of cats and dogs who used Science Diet Perfect Weight lost weight within 10 weeks. Containing a breakthrough blend of natural ingredients, plus it includes prebiotic fibers for gentle digestion and is 100% precisely balanced for optimal nutrition it can help your pet lose weight.
Part of helping your pet lose weight and maintain is to establish a healthy routine. I swear by my calendar in my email to stay organized and our pets are also creatures of habit. Use the 10 week calendar here provided by Hill’s Science Diet to establish the routine and stick with it. Your first week will involve the transition to the Perfect Weight food since you never want to abruptly change your pets food. I like to plan out our time to exercise, if I don’t then something else just ends up taking up that time and that is not good. Plus this is a great time to get the kids out and exercise and since they are playing with the dogs they don’t see it as exercise and actually enjoy themselves, it is a win-win. Take a before pic of your pet so you can see exactly how much they change over the 10 week period and be sure to record their weight weekly. Do you notice that your pet is more active? Are they able to play more vigorously for longer periods of time? All of these observations are worth noting on the calendar.
Hill’s Science Diet is offering 10 weeks of Science Diet Perfect Weight to get you started so you can see the difference it will make in your pet, just enter using the Rafflecopter below.
