Winter Months Bulking Up Your Pet?

Pets, like most people are known for packing on the pounds in the winter time.  With snow on the ground here in Missouri, it’s hard to get Maggie to play outside for extended periods of time (even though she wears her sweater).  She still goes on her regular walks - once in the morning and once at night, but they are not for the same amount of distance as in the spring.  It can be hard to keep up with a regular routine with your pets because some of them may not want to go outside at all - but it is very important to try to maintain regular exercise for your pets.

Humans are able to take weight loss pills to help them shed extra pounds - but our pets do not have that same luxury.  A variety of health problems can arise if your pet is overweight, so it’s important to give your pet as much exercise as possible in these winter months.
