In the United States, The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) has estimated that 55% of dogs and 54% of cats are obese or overweight.

Purebredbreeders.com reviews this issue because as a pet owner, your pet will most likely have the same health and exercise habits as you; if you yourself don’t go for walks, there is no way that your dog will be either.

As with humans, there are many health concerns relating to an obese animal, including orthopedic problems. This New Year’s resolution, include your dog in your goals to lose weight.

Some exercise ideas for you and your dog:

• Old-Fashioned Fetch: This will get your dog running and give him or her some good interval and reflex training. If you’re ready to step it up a notch, try the ball or stick and then try to race your dog to retrieve it.
• Have your dog join you on a run: This is a great idea for owners of younger dogs; older dogs depending on their condition may not be able to keep up with you. If this is the case for you, try doing running in intervals instead, walking for some time, then doing a quick sprint and then going back to walking, and repeat.
• Swimming: Swimming is a complete exercise and will provide you and your pooch with lots of fun, light resistance training and is easy on the joints for older owners and dogs.
