Slowly reduce food over time vs drastic cutbacks. Losing 1-2 lbs per month is a safe goal. Consult your vet.
Reduce Food
Precisely measure out recommended calories per day in portioned meals rather than free-feeding.
Measure Portions
Add more walks, play time, or jogs to burn more calories. Low impact exercise helps avoid injury.
Increase Exercise
Food puzzles, snuffle mats and treat balls can provide mental exercise to tire them.
Add Enrichments
Consult your vet on the best obesity management diet. Stick to scheduled feedings.
Pick Quality Kibble
Weigh weekly or monthly to ensure gradual progress and catch any regression.
Weigh Regularly
Manage conditions like hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease or medication side effects alongside weight loss.
