Love Your Dog With a Long Walk, Instead of Over Feeding
Treats like “vanilla woofers” and carob-covered fire hydrants should be reserved for special occasions. Your dog may not like that idea. But - more exercise - should get more tails wagging.
Pets are also suffering the same consequences as overweight people, including joint problems and diabetes, Bauer said. Too many treats may even shorten their lives. A 2002 study compared Labrador retrievers on two eating plans. One group was allowed to gobble as much food as desired during 15-minute daily feedings, and that amount was measured. The other was then given 25 percent less food than that. The dogs on the restricted diet were healthier than the others and lived up to two years longer.
