Dudley's Thoughts: Keep Your Pets Healthy

Hello my fellow pet owners,

This is the first of many posts coming your way, sharing thoughts and opinions on local pet friendly locations, food and treats, toys, pet events, etc., from the perspective of our pug, Dudley. Hope you all enjoy!

When my mommy and daddy took me to the doctor last year for my yearly shots, we were informed I needed to be put on a diet to lose 2-4 pounds. My parents were very concerned about this, as my breed is prone to gaining weight, fast. My doctor recommended adding green beans to my diet (aka the "green bean diet"). They strictly followed and still follow his advice. By adding more green beans to my regular meals gradually, substituting a portion of my kibble with pieces of this veggie, allowed me to lose 3 pounds!

I also enjoy these green, tasty treats as snacks! And the best part is, I can eat as many as I want and not gain any weight from it. Even Modern Dog magazine recommends these! Read one vet's recommendation on how you too can promote good health for your dog.

This along with daily exercise has made my mommy, daddy and me very happy. Though, I get very tired due to my pushed in face and snout, I am able to keep up as much as I can and enjoy playing with other doggies.

I hope you enjoyed my take on this, and look forward to sharing many other thoughts with you!  – Dudley
