#GetHealthyHappy with the #PerfectWeight for Your Pets

“I’m so surprised how normal sized your pugs are!” I hear this or something similar to this quite a bit. Pugs are supposed to be chubby doggies but they can easily turn from normal chubsters to obese. Pugs looooove their food and would like nothing more than to chow down on deliciousness all day long. So it’s up to me and Jarrod, as their doggie parents, to make sure they stay at a healthy weight.

There are several ways to make sure our pets are healthy. We make sure to give the pugs quality food and get them to exercise. Rosie is older, so she’s less active than Bowie. Plus she is generally smaller, so I make sure to also give her a little less food. (Much to her chagrin!) Other pet parents are curbing obesity in their pets by focusing on proper nutrition, such as feeding their pets Hill’s® Science Diet® Perfect Weight. It is also important to ensure pet health and happiness through regular vet visits, fun exercise and proper grooming. (You can also click here to check out whether your pet is at a healthy weight.)

Here are 3 more easy ways to keep your pet healthy (From D. Ashley Gallager, a vet at the Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington, D.C.):

1. Dogs and cats age much faster than humans, so missing even one yearly checkup can be like you not going to the doctor for over 5 years!
2. Preventive care doesn’t stop at the vet’s office so what you do with your pet at home will help them live a longer, happier and healthier life. Exercise, oral care and grooming care are important for both dogs and cats.
3. Lastly, make sure to choose quality pet food and treats for your pet, like Science Diet® Perfect Weight or other Hill’s® Science Diet® Life Care products for cats and dogs.

To help pet parents with their pets’ health, Hill’s is introducing a new program – “Healthier Pets. Happier Lives.” So perfect, right? My pets make me happy and their health is important to us. It’s the circle of wonderful pet mom life. This program has resources for pet parents to #GetHealthyHappy. You can go to ScienceDiet.com/GetHealthyHappy to enter to win a $100 gift card towards your pet’s next vet checkup. Hill’s Science Diet will be giving one gift card away everyday for 90 days!

What ways do you help to make sure your pet is living a happy and healthy life? And share how your pet makes YOU happier. I think we all know that the pugs brighten up my life. They aren’t always perfect (like how Rosie tripped me yesterday as I was making my breakfast and I fell on my butt, sigh) but they make me smile and laugh everyday. I love that I am making their lives better since they have made my life so much better!
