Additional walking program for some fat dogs...and me

One of the side effects of sterilization may be overweight ... This is especially true of females. Some of our girls look like real balloons. I try to control their diet, but this is clearly not enough. They need more movement.

This is especially true for our five dogs: Kusilda, Star, Mouse, Palma and Umka.
Thinking, I decided to provide for them an additional walk in the woods or in the field.

It is important to start immediately, because excess weight has a negative effect on the heart. If they have heart problems, they will not be able to run enough to control their weight. It will be a vicious circle that I want to avoid.

We started yesterday. The dogs did not mind. On the contrary, they were happy to run through the winter forest. I divided them into groups. The first group: Mouse, Kusilda and Star. They have the biggest problems with weight.

The second group was strange ... It was headed by Umka, but four more dogs were Athos, Porthos, Hercule and Toff ... (mom Knoop's puppies). The fact is that Umka continues to play the role of a nurse for these young dogs and she wants to be with them everywhere.

Old lady Palma walked separately with me and my husband late in the evening, so I could not take a photo. She no longer maintains the pace, which is necessary when walking with young dogs.

As for me, these walks were also helpful. To be honest, recently I have worsened my physical form. But now the second day I can easily gather the necessary 10,000 steps.
