For many pet parents shopping at J & J PET CLUB, the concern isn't always about weight loss; sometimes our four-legged buddies need a little weight gain. If you find your dog on the slender side, here are some tailor-made tips to ensure healthy weight gain:
🍖 1. Multiple Meal Times with Extra Portions Consider breaking your dog’s meals into 3-4 servings daily. Gradually increase the amount to ensure your dog digests properly and relishes every bite.
🍗 2. Prioritize High-Quality Protein for Muscle Boost Opt for dog food rich in proteins such as chicken, beef, or fish. These not only enhance muscle mass but also supply essential amino acids for holistic growth.
🥩 3. Incorporate Healthy Fats Oils like fish oil, olive oil, and flaxseed oil are great additions. The right amount of fats can energize your dog and lend that glossy, healthy sheen to their coat.
🌱 4. Nutritional Supplements Try supplements, including fish oil, glucosamine, or cold-pressed flaxseed oil. These provide extra support for your dog's bones and joints.
🍪 5. Treat Time! Who says dogs don’t have a gourmet side? Offer them healthy treats like cooked chicken breast, beef chunks, or fish slices. It’s also a fantastic bonding exercise!
🏋️ 6. Daily Exercise Routines Moderate exercise can boost their appetite and muscle strength. Regular strolls or playtime not only promotes health but strengthens your bond.
⚖️ 7. Monitor and Modify We recommend weekly weight checks. Record and adjust food intake or activity levels based on their weight progression.
💌 Tip: Before making any dietary changes, always consult with a vet. It’s vital to ensure your dog's weight gain is healthy and not due to underlying issues. Health first!
