Scratchings & Sniffings Out Loud Maintaining a Healthy Weight

Posted: 26 May 2009 02:53 PM PDT

Welcome to another Scratchings and Sniffings Out Loud with Dr. Larry and Dr. Grace. Today we're following up a previous S&S Out Loud that discussed obesity problems in your pet. Once you recognize a weight problem, there are ways to manage it, including creating a diet with the proper nutrition and exercise, and even weighing your dog at home, while following a veterinarian's diet advice. I remember back in the day - we would weigh ourselves, pick up the dog, weigh ourselves with the dog, and do the math. Today, vets have way kewl hydralic tables that help with those monster dogs, like Cedar. 

Another kewl thing that you'll learn in this podcast is how to handle begging and still give your dog (or cat - altho cats are a bit trickier) treats, even if he or she is "dieting." Remember: your pet's diet is a major part of their overall health - and good health is the best way to a long and happy life.

Dr. Grace is the expert in that area...listen to her advice now:
