Dog Weight Loss, What Should you be Doing?

Lets talk weight loss for dogs. You now have 2 choices. You can take a fish (a bag of weight management food) and your dog will lose a little weight temporarily OR you can learn to fish (The TrimDog Weight Loss System) and your dog will be fit and healthy for life. You must learn how to portion your dog's food and how much exercise is necessary to maintain a healthy weight. Shortcuts will result in a roller coaster journey that will only result in negative health consequences to your dog. Remember, dogs that maintain a healthy weight live up to 2 years longer. Choose the TrimDog Weight Loss System and learn to fish; give your dog a chance to be fit and healthy for life.

Incorporation of the TrimDog Exercise Belt with Hydrotherapy

The TrimDog Exercise Belt is now water-proof and can be used during hydrotherapy: to allow dogs to burn more calories while walking and still decrease the stress on the joints, maintain a more favorable knee angle as opposed to inclining the treadmill while recovering from knee injuries, to stimulate greater recruitment of Type II muscle fibers of the hind legs,and by wearing the belt towards the rear of the dog promoting weight-bearing through the hind legs.

Dogs lose Weight with TrimDog

*TrimDog Success Story* Spotlight

Meet Max. Max's mommy was concerned about his growing waistline. His diet was already far superior than most dog's because of his mommy's background as a Registered Dietitian. They exercised regularly but Max was still not at his ideal weight. Max's mommy decided to add the TrimDog exercise belt to his regular walks while maintaining his current diet. 6 weeks later, Max was reweighed at his veterinarian's office and had lost an incredible 5-6% of his body weight. Max is now on his way to living a longer, healthier life thanks to Max's mommy and her devotion to help Max get fit and healthy.

"I love the TrimDog exercise belt, not only does it help to burn a few extra calories, it also gives Max the feeling that he is "working" so he feels that he has a purpose on his walks. He gets so excited when he sees the exercise belt come out of the closet. It's like he's saying, "Time to go to work." Max lost just over 5% of his body weight in 6 weeks.

Dog Arthritis Remedy

Weight loss is a huge remedy for decreasing arthritic pain in dogs. Weight loss relieves pain in dogs by decreasing the everyday stress on the joints. NSAID pain medication is the most common method for decreasing arthritc pain in dogs but is not the preferred method for long term treatment. Weight loss in a dog of approximately 10% of their bodyweight can provide as much pain relief as giving NSAID pain medication. (Average weight loss with the TrimDog Weight Loss System is 3-5% of bodyweight in 6 weeks.) If your pet suffers from chronic athritis consider getting them started on a weight loss program as soon as possible so they can enjoy a fit and healthy life.
