We all know that obesity is an issue that plagues many Americans, but did you also know that obesity is an issue for our pets? 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. As most of you know my family and I have been making quite a few changes to our eating habits, trying to eat more cleanly and remove those bad processed foods from our diet. I believe as a part of being a parent to my four legged children, Nala and Xena I have to also make sure those children are also eating healthy so they stay in good health.
Hill’s® Science Diet® Perfect Weight offers a breakthrough blend of natural ingredients, plus it includes prebiotic fibers for gentle digestion and is 100% precisely balanced for optimal nutrition. Small and toy breeds make up 40% of the dog population so Hills Science Diet just introduced a Perfect Weight formula for small and toy breeds this month.
Nala, our 5 year old Shetland Sheepdog is very active, she has a new puppy sister to keep up with and her other 3 brothers and sisters, so being healthy and ready to play with all of the kids is a must, plus we know a healthier dog is a happier dog and will have a better quality of life. We are a busy homeschooling family, I plan all of our meals each day so that I know we are eating well and can avoid those quick on the go meals that are just not we should be eating. What I love about Hill’s Science Diet Perfect Weight is that it takes the guesswork out of finding good, healthy food for our dogs. I know it includes real meat such as chicken as the first ingredient and it contains no artificial flavors or preservatives.

You can purchase all Hill’s Science Diet Perfect Weight products here at Pet360. You may be asking “How do I know if my pet is overweight?” You can check your pets Body Condition Score (BCS), which has proven to be a superior method for assessing weight. A BCS requires looking at a pet from the side, and from above looking toward the head. From the side, the perfect pet has a tight “tummy tuck” toward the hips; the ribs are not distinctly visible but are easily felt. From above, the same pet should have a gentle hourglass shape from the chest to the hips. This perfect pet is given a score of 3 in the 5-point system, and a 4-5 in the 9-point system, for more information about BCS checkout the article from petMD here or chekc out the YouTube video below.
