Overweight Pet? Weighted belts may help!


Pet obesity is a growing problem and a serious medical concern. Owners often struggle to find a way to drop their pet's pounds, and many are unwilling to admit their pet even has a problem with obesity. While traditionally recommendations have included increasing exercise, cutting back on treats or trying prescription diets designed to be lower in calories, there is a new option for pet owners!

A new study was released showing that dogs that walked with the TrimDog Weight Belt were more likely to lose weight than those that didn't wear the belt. As proven in people, the weighted belts can increase metabolic response, resulting in a greater weight loss. After an eight week study, dogs using the TrimDog Weight Belt lost an average of 4% bodyweight.

The appropriate weight is determined by the size of the dog.
