BGMy name is Ike Kinlaw and I am an Exercise Physiologist, B.S. with 10 years experience in the health care field.

 My wife Anna Kinlaw is a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s Degree in Nutrition.

 We are the proud pet parents of a 4 year old Shih-Tzu named Lily. She is the inspiration for the TrimDog Weight Loss System.

Anna and I saw our precious little girl go from 15.5 pds to 18.7 pds in a matter of months. Lily’s weight gain prompted us to seek out an effective strategy for dog weight loss. Unable to find a healthy alternative, we decided to create our own.

Under the guidance of Lily’s veterinarian, we established an exercise and nutrition program specifically for dogs that anyone can do without having to compromise your dog’s health. We are proud to report that after using the TrimDog Weight Loss System for four months our little girl is now 15.4 pds and healthier than ever.  (Update: 10/1/2010:  Lily weighs 14.3 pds and holding at her ideal weight)

Not one to keep secrets; Anna and I decided to share our weight loss system with the world so every dog could benefit. We encourage all pet parents to take action in the fight against dog obesity, because every dog deserves the chance to live a long and healthy life.


What did Lily's veterinarian have to say about the TrimDog Weight Loss System:

"The weight loss that Lily demonstrated using the TrimDog exercise belt has been remarkable!  She lost almost 20% of her body weight and attained her ideal weight in less than 4 months, on the TrimDog exercise belt and walking program.  She tolerated the exercise belt well and has maintained her current weight for two months now."
