My dogs are crazy about fruits and vegetables. Some of their favorites are carrots, plums and zucchini.
Plan a regular exercise program; dogs need regular exercise to prevent weight problems. Exercise will improve your dog's muscle tone, metabolism, and weight. Start out little, then go large. If you have kids you can even make exercising the dog a daily task. The following suggested program is just an example – talk with you vet and tailor the exercise program according to your dog's specific needs. Note that walking may not be appropriate in the case of an obese dog, and water training could prove a useful substitute because it bears the dog's weight – talk to your vet. Use a head halter or walking harness; leads can compress the trachea (windpipe); choose padded harnesses.[14] Use protective booties for snow walking, and take along water for hot weather (and a collapsible dog bowl).
* Small dog: Start out with a 1/4 mile (400 metres) each day and work your way up to 1 1/2 miles (2.4 km) of walking every day.
* Large dog: Start out with 1/2 mile (800 metres) of walking each day and work your way up to 2 miles of walking every day.
* Walk as much as your dog is happy to do to begin with, and keep pushing the length a little more every few days. Once the dog is used to the fact that you mean business (say, 2 or 3 days of consistency), start walking for weight loss. Don't permit your dog to dally on the out leg of the walk, preferring to make him walk briskly, then let him sniff around on the return leg.[15]
* Play fetch or play with toys for at least twenty minutes a day.
* If your dog and you are overweight, why don't you work together? You'll be more motivated to lose weight if you and your dog work together.
