“Research” has shown that since The Quarantine has begun, two types of dogs have emerged. Group A - those that are fitter than ever thanks to their CrossFit and FitBit obsessed parents (you know, the ones who have used all of their free time to run miles and miles with their dog); and Group B – those that have been enjoying treats and baking and Netflix just a tad too much. Which is why it’s more important than ever to take proactive steps to keep Fluffy at a healthy weight.
Here are some ways to prevent Quarantine-caused canine obesity:
Limit your dog to only one food a day that contains the word “Cheez.”
Make vegetables more appealing by drawing faces of squirrels on them with a marker.
Carefully cut open a bag of Milk-Bones, replace the treats with baby carrots, and reseal the bag. If your dog is confused, respond, “Huh, I guess they changed the Milk-Bone formula.”
Provide clear guidelines for what kind of body type you expect your dog to maintain.
Set a good example by scarfing down grass in front of your dog.
Dog Fitbit!
Some “research” has shown that pressuring pups to lose weight can also lead to obesity, so good luck.
