Obesity (not just for humans)

Obesity is a growing problem here in the United States. Not only in humans, but their pets as well. Sometimes we love them so much and they give us those eyes and act like they are starving we just have to give them a little bit of our bacon. 

Well as much as we love them. Refraining from sharing food with our beloved pets is actually better for them. Everyone knows dogs need plenty of exercise, but another big portion of your pooch's health is what it eats and how much it eats. As I have stated before, I am a big fan of organic dog food as well as making your own dog food. However both options can cost a bit of money so regular dog food is okay if you must. 

Use a measuring cup to measure how much dog food your pup is getting daily and follow the suggested portion sizes along the back of the bag of food.
