How to put your pet on a diet

If you have more than one pet it can be a challenge putting your pets on a diet. Just like people, some pets can over-eat and stay thin, while others develop a weight problem. To effectively put your pet on a diet may take some creative feeding routines. Try putting your pets in separate rooms during feeding times and allow them a ration of food (check with your vet for the proper amount) and set a time limit, such as 30 minutes,to eat. This solves the problem of sharing food bowls and you can tailor the feeding for the specific pet.

Extra play time with your pet will also help him loose some of the extra weight!
