When searching for a plan to help your dog lose weight it is important to understand what your options are and how they affect your dog. Decreasing your dog's food consumption using a high-protein weight management food is a great start to promote weight loss, but it is not the most effective method by itself. In addition to a solid weight loss diet, your dog needs to exercise to burn more calories, build muscle to elevate their metabolism, and strengthen their heart, lungs, and joints for long-term health benefits. Walking your dog with a TrimDog Exercise Belt 3 times per week for 30 minutes a session is an ideal choice for an exercise program to achieve weight loss and maintain it. The TrimDog Exercise Belt safely increases the intensity of a slow/moderate pace walk by 10-15% allowing your dog to burn more calories without overexerting themselves. A common misconception among most people unfamiliar with weighted walking is that it places undo stress on your dog's joints. Running results in greater impact on your dog's joints as opposed to walking at a slow/moderate pace while wearing a TrimDog Exercise Belt. The other common misconception is that if your veterinarian recommends to you that your dog needs to lose weight to minimize the stress on their joints that may cause or inflame arthritis symptoms, then why would you want your dog to walk while wearing additional weight? There are two ways to explain this clearly to realize the benefits of weighted walking. 1. If your dog walks around each week 24-7 (168 hours per week) with an extra 4% of body weight this will cause joint problems not to mention long-term health problems. A TrimDog Exercise Belt equals between 1-2% of your dog's body weight depending on the size of your dog and is only worn for three, 30 minute walks a week (1.5 hours per week). On average, dogs that walk while wearing the TrimDog Exercise Belt lose 4% of their body weight in 6 weeks. Many veterinarians believe that a weight loss of 4% of a dog's body weight can provide the same pain relief as NSAID pain medication. Would walking for 1.5 hours a week with an extra 1-2% of body weight be worth having your dog experience pain-relief all day long once weight loss is achieved. Of course it is. Another good analogy to justify weighted walking is to compare it to using radiation to treat cancer patients. If you deliver a small amount of precise radiation to a tumor you can kill the majority, if not all the localized cancer cells; however, constant exposure or exposure to high levels of radiation can cause cancer. The same instrument to treat cancer can also cause cancer if misused. The secret to weighted walking is using the smallest amount of weight possible (1-2% of your body weight) as part of a planned weight loss exercise/diet regimen to maximize the benefits and prevent side effects. Why continue using the same ineffective weight loss methods just because that is what everyone else does. Order the TrimDog Exercise Belt today and help your dog get fit and healthy for life.
