With human obesity on the rise, the nation’s pets are affected too - in fact, the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention’s latest survey estimated that nearly 60% of dogs in the USA are obese. Possible reasons range from owners’ lack of time and energy to exercise, to a lack of understanding about proper pet nutrition and portion control. While the recent hot weather has made it a little more difficult to exercise safely in the heat, the autumn months are the perfect opportunity to reset your dog’s exercise and nutritional balance. You may even find that it really boosts your own health and wellbeing too, putting you and your canine companion on track for a happy, healthy new year.
