At Scamps & Champs, we know your dog is part of the family. But just like us, our furry companions can occasionally gain a few extra poundsāespecially after winter cuddles, reduced activity, or too many treat-filled days.
The good news? Helping your dog reach and maintain a healthy weight doesnāt have to mean strict dieting or cutting out all the fun. It just takes a few smart changesāand the right nutrition.
š¶ Why Your Dogās Weight Matters
Carrying excess weight can lead to:
-
Joint and mobility issues
-
Reduced energy and playfulness
-
Increased risk of diabetes and heart disease
-
Shortened lifespan
Helping your dog slim down isnāt about looksāitās about helping them live a longer, happier, healthier life.
š„¦ 5 Simple Ways to Help Your Dog Reach a Healthy Weight
1. Switch to a Lower Fat, High-Quality Food
Not all dog foods are created equal. Our Scamps & Champs Lower Fat Pet Food Range is specially formulated with premium, natural ingredients and less fatāperfect for dogs who need to lose or maintain weight without sacrificing taste. Itās also grain-free, veterinary-approved, and made with 100% human-grade ingredients.
2. Measure Every Meal
Free feeding or guesswork can lead to overfeeding. Always measure your dogās meals using a cup or scale, based on their ideal weight and energy needs.
3. Watch the Treats (but donāt ditch them!)
Yes, your dog can still enjoy treats! Choose low-calorie options, break treats into smaller pieces, or use healthy alternatives like carrot sticks or apple slices.
4. Increase Activity (Gently!)
Add a few extra minutes to your daily walk, try indoor games like hide-and-seek or puzzle toys, or schedule a doggy playdate. Gradual increases in activity make a big difference.
5. Track Progress Together
Weigh your dog regularly and keep a simple progress chart. Celebrate milestones with a new toy or extra belly rubsānot extra biscuits!
