February is Canine weight check month

A quick thank you to everyone who responded positively to my dog exercise blog entry on Friday. This month, according to http://www.stopcanineobesity.com/ is National canine weight check month. The website above has listings of vets in your area who are able to give your dog free weight checks.

In conjunction with walking your dog on a regular basis to ensure healthy overall living, placing him/her on a house/bathroom scale once a month is a good way to monitor and regulate your dog's weight.

Freedom, my black lab, actually looks forward to our talking scale in which a voice reads out his weight, he barks cutely as though there is someone inside the scale informing him of his weight.

I personally prefer to use digital scales when it comes to weighing myself or my dog, however, any weight management scale works perfectly.

Luv Sheila & Freedom (my black lab)

Every Friday, in support of canine weight check month in February, I will be sharing some healthy recipes in which I feed my black lab that are inexpensive, easy and enjoyable for both cats and dogs.
