Share the HUGS, instead of the food!
There are healthier ways to spoil your pet without helping them pack on the pounds.
Here are some suggestions:
Make them work for it. Interactive toys keep pets busy while rewarding them with small treats throughout the play activity. For already obese pets, using pieces of their regular food as treats is helpful.
Forget the treats and get moving. Increasing play time with your pet can greatly increase calories burned in a day. Spoiling your pet doesn't have to involve food. Playing ball with dogs or feather on a string with cats, going for a walk or run or visiting a dog park are fun and healthful ways to interact with your pet.
Brush them. Most pets love to be brushed. It makes them feel better to get all that loose hair off and lets them know they're loved!
Choose healthier treats. Fresh baby carrots are a great, low-calorie alternative to fatty biscuits and permit the frequent treat-giving that many pets have become accustomed to.
