January is traditionally a time when people pay more attention to their bodies, intentionally eat fewer calories and make healthier food choices.

This is also a great time to develop better habits for your canine companion. Just like in humans, obesity is rampant in America’s pet population. When dogs carry too much weight they place an extra strain on all their organs, and they can be at an increased risk for diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure and pancreatitis. Unsurprisingly, excess weight gain can interfere with a pet’s quality of life and actually shorten their life span.

Life’s Abundance Weight-Loss Formula
is veterinarian-formulated to help
your dog lose weight and maintain optimum health.

My Nikki….that sunshine looks so good right now.  We are in a cold temperature alert.  Sunshine and warmth; I can almost feel it.
