HELP YOUR PET
Keep pets indoors and avoid unnecessary outdoor exertion.
See a veterinarian if your pets have a difficult time breathing or are experiencing any illness.
Wash ash off your pets and their toys.
Provide clean drinking water. If water is unsafe for people, it is unsafe for pets.

i want to help my pet dog because he is getting to heavy. He is about 4 lbs overweight and I do not know what to do about it. Is there a way that I can cook his own food so it will be better for him? Is there diet foods for dogs. He is a shitzu and he weights about 18 lbs. He is in most of the day and does not get much exercise. Is there any suggestions

Remember to be sure your dog is not gaining weight due to a thyroid or hormonal imbalance before beginning any calorie reducing or significantly difference diet! - P.D.
