April is Pet Fitness Month

Winter is (supposedly) over, and now's the time for your pet to get outside, or get moving inside, and lose any of that pesky winter weight that crept up on them during those long, cold months.

Just like some of their humans, too many dogs and cats suffer from obesity. Too much sitting around combined with too many calories can lead to weight gain, which puts stress on your pet's body and can even shorten their lifespan.

Let's give some of these tips a try this April:
  • If you've got a dog, get outside and take a walk. You'll both enjoy it, and it's the easiest exercise for canine and human companions to do together.
  • Looking for something a bit more fast-paced than a walk? Try throwing a ball, stick, or frisbee at the park or your backyard. Jog with your pet to retrieve it sometimes!
  • For our indoor kitties, make a game out of meal times. Have your cat follow you around the house with their full food bowl – go upstairs, go downstairs, do all of your usual morning or evening chores, but bring the bowl with you for a few minutes. Increase your distance from across the room to up the stairs over a week or so, and they'll follow!
  • Get your cat moving with a laser pointer, a feather toy, or a simple stuffed toy mouse.
  • Substitute healthy treats such as baby carrots or rice cakes, instead of higher-calorie snacks . Your pets will love their tasty "people food" treat, and you'll love their lower caloric intake. Make sure you always check which foods your dog or cat can't have before offering them a snack.
  • For more indoor activities, try filling a hollow toy with kibbles or treats. As your dog or cat chases it around the room, they'll be rewarded with a kibble or two.
For some fun toys to keep your pet active, check out these products:
  • NoBowl System for Cats is a bowl-free, in-home "hunting" system designed to appeal to your cat's natural prey drive.
  • Qwizl for Dogs by West Paw is a puzzle toy built for tough chewers to earn their snack. Check out West Paw's other great toys on their website, and check out our selection here at Rowley Animal Hospital during your next visit.
