There Are Many Ways to Help Your Pets
Feel Better and Live Longer, Happier Lives

Los Angeles, California — Whether your dog is among the 40% of America’s pet population that is overweight today or you just want to find ways to keep your beloved pet healthy for years to come, there are many products and services that can help.

“It is so easy to put weight on a dog or to allow a pet to get out of shape,” says Margaret Rudoy, head rehabilitation therapist for Dog Paddle Hydrotherapy and Wellness in Pasadena, California. “Even a couple pounds on a small dog can cause serious health problems and add significant strain to their weight-bearing joints.”

Being out of shape can also take years off the life of your beloved dog. With this in mind, there are many products and services available today designed to help your dog live a happier and healthier life. So start the New Year off right and Keep Fido Fit with:
