Here’s How We Helped Our Dog Shed Some Pounds & Get Moving - The Daily Report

We swapped our dog’s breakfast brown bread with ragi malt aka finger millet. Ragi has a much superior nutritional profile than other staple grains.

It’s loaded with fiber, so it lessens your dog’s food cravings. It’s also an excellent gluten-free option for doggos who are allergic to wheat.  

We started alternating our dog’s breakfast milk with plain curd. The lactose sugar content is much lower in curd as compared to milk.

This way, your pet gets its daily dose of calcium without consuming too many calories from sugar. 

We’ve relied on packed dog treats for years, but the truth is, the calories add up and it’s not really healthy for your pooch either.

So, we started making easy treats at home that are not only delicious but are low on added sugars and fats too. 

Portion control doesn’t mean you have to starve your dog. We reduced the content of rice in her diet by half and doubled the veggies.

We also made sure she gets half a tbsp of ghee in her dinner every day so she stays full for longer. Ghee also improves joint mobility and promotes healthy digestion in dogs.
