Let’s face it. Fido is overweight and you are too. It’s time to take the matter in hand! With your dog by your side, here are ways that you can slim you both down and not suffer too much doing it. And let’s not forget – it is much more amusing to lose weight with your dog than alone. You will also have a chance to spend some time together. So – have fun!

1. Make a plan

Milestones are important. Set a date to start your and Fido’s weight loss program. Make weekly dates for weighing and set monthly goals. The companionship of planning for two of you makes you more likely to stick to your plan.
