Recently, when I went to the vet, I stepped on the scale and it said I had gained a pound and ½. Now I know that isn’t much for you humans, but for an 18 pound dog (oh I mean 19 ½ pounds now) that is huge! I tried to tell Mom it was my super heavy collar and that the scale was off due to the Great Dane that weighted in before me, but she didn’t believe me! She thinks it is because I get too many treats … I disagree. I think it is because I don’t get to go on enough walks! Anyway, when my pals at Purina asked me if they could send me a “get fit kit”, I said “Sure, I need any help I can get!”
In my kit was a sample of the Purina Dog Chow Light & Healthy Adult Dog Food. This food has 22% fewer calories than their regular dog chow but still has all the important vitamins and minerals a dog needs.
I admit, I was skeptical. Everyone knows that diet food is never as yummy as regular food. I have to say though, it still tasted really good and I finished my bowl. Elvis, my dog brother (and intern), tried it too and liked it. Even the cats sniffed it (As you know, cats giving any dog food the time of day is probably a good sign).
Unfortunately, diet food isn’t enough to get me back to a lean and mean fetching machine again. I have to get active too. In my kit there was also a leash for Mom to take me on walks, a doggie pedometer so I can keep up with how many steps I take, and even a doggie water bottle to keep me hydrated. I know you humans complain about going to the gym and exercising, but I think you are just not doing the right type of activity. Take us for walks with you. I guarantee it will be more fun than a treadmill at the gym.
It hasn’t been long enough for me to say that I’m back to my one-year-old weight, but I’m trying. I know Mom wants me to get there because she is the one who has to carry me around in a carrier all over the airport when I travel. Any weight I lose is good for Mom’s back.
My pals at Purina want YOU, my readers, to have a light & healthy kit: It will include: One 4-pound bag of Purina Dog Chow Light & Healthy, a leash, dog bowl, doggie water bottle, a pet pedometer, and a really spiffy bandana.
