Your Questions Answered - Week 3 - Obesity

Is your cat or dog a bit overweight? If you have a plump pooch, try switching to Evanger's Dry Chicken or Pheasant diet, and replace part of the dry diet with any of the canned meat products. The 100% meat cans, which include duck, chicken, beef, rabbit, pheasant, and buffalo, are low in fat but high in protein-building amino acids and other essential nutrients -- and are also loaded with flavor. This means that your dieting dog can lose weight without feeling starved, and you know you've done something nutritious, balanced, and gentle. Be sure to limit the overall amount of food eaten.

Fat cats, too, benefit from Evanger's cans. Try replacing their existing diet with the meat-based USDA Certified Organic Braised Chicken Dinner or the Seafood & Caviar Dinner. Neither is high in fat, and both are loaded with nutrients. Again, limit the overall amount of food eaten. And avoid those high-calorie snacks!

As much as Evanger's can help with weight control, it is important to remember that exercise is a large factor as well. Try to give your dog about 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise daily. Not only will this benefit your pet's well-being, but give you quality time to spend with your pet.
