Kitchen Goodies & Your Little BeggarYour Pet's Health Has your little pumpkin been putting on a little extra padding lately? Kitchen goodies could be one of the reasons for that added girth… Our pets are a lot like us. One of the main pleasures in life is eating, and like us – they love to eat! Imagine this – it’s Sunday afternoon and football’s in season. It’s just you, your pet Pekinese Zelda, and the super-sized bag of cheese flavored snacks. First thing you know, ‘your’ quarterback makes a mad dash across the field during the last 10 seconds of the game for a touchdown to win the game! After you’ve finished dancing around the den you pause to look at your empty cheese bag. How did this happen? You and Zelda have managed to finish off the entire bag. It’s evident by the orange on your fingers, and on her nose. No doubt that all those calories and added fat aren’t going to be kind to you when you hop on the scales during the next few days. But, what about Zelda? On the last visit to the vet she weighed in at 18 pounds – pounds over what is considered normal weight for a dog her height and skeletal frame. Consider this – a dog that is Zelda’s size can blow up faster than the Hindenburg when feasting on cheese flavored snacks. Just a single serving of those orange flavored devils contain about 200 calories – which is close to her daily allotment. Number one: cheese flavored snacks aren’t very healthy and number two: Zelda is going to pick up the weight very fast with high-in-fat food sources. Her mini-glut on the cheese snacks is equal to you plunging yourself with a box of chocolate eclairs. In addition, gorging on goodies can create all sorts of health problems for your pet such as gastric upset, diarrhea, vomiting and can even contribute to pet diabetes. Your pet’s nutritional intake is dependent upon several factors. Some of the things to consider are:  type
of pet you own
physical
composition of your pet
metabolism
of your pet
activity
level of your pet
your
pet’s daily vitamin requirement
your
pet’s stress level
your
pet’s persuasion power (i.e. begging)
Let’s be honest – it’s very difficult to say ‘no’ to a begging pet. They are cute, pitiful, adorable and irresistible when they are in this mode and they know it! A pet can arrange the most appealing expression on its face during those spontaneous begging sessions. Your pet probably knows how to ‘work’ you well. You are merely the string tied around the little paw. So, what’s a pet owner to do? Well, next time Zelda settles in for some ‘food comfort’ time with you, try the following: Put
all snacks away. Only eat at mealtimes and even then, eat in seclusion.
Not only will your overweight pet benefit, you will too! One note:
pets should be taught not to beg so after the weight stabilizes you will need
to work on training in this area.
Take
your pet for more frequent walks. Try playing games with your pet.
Ask
your vet to tell you the amount of food you should be feeding your pet and stick
to that amount until your pet drops some pounds.
There
are several brands of pet food on the market that were developed with the ‘overeater’
pet in mind. Do a little investigating and you may find a flavor your
pet loves.
Even
your pet experiences levels of stress. Provide as stress-free of an environment
as possible to ensure a happy pet.
Be patient and success will come. Then again, it is the new millennium. Before we know it, there’ll be diet programs popping up all over the country, specifically for pets! Hum, can’t you just imagine the names of these nifty clinics? Weight Watch-Doggers; Jenny Cage; Slim Fast Fido & Me’tag’o’life.
