Quick Tips for Managing Your Dog's Weight

English Setters love to eat,
but they need portioning and exercise

 

Maintaining your dog’s weight is essential to their health. Here are some easy steps to follow:

1. Measure Food Portions – Accurately measure your dog’s food to avoid overfeeding.
2. Switch to Weight-Management Food – Choose low-calorie, high-fiber foods that help your dog feel full without extra calories.
3. Limit Treats – Use healthy, low-calorie treats like carrots or cucumbers.
4. Exercise Daily – Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day to help burn calories.
5. Regular Weigh-Ins – Weigh your dog monthly and adjust the feeding or exercise plan as needed.
