Dogs love to eat but very much like with people this love can sometimes turn into a real health problem for them. Recent surveys indicate that over 50 percent of America's pet population is overweight or obese.
An overweight dog is more susceptible to wide range of ailments from diabetes to arthritis, and even early death.

If your dog is on the heavy side of the scale with the proper food and exercise you can help him shed those extra pounds.
Here are some easy ways to exercise your dog:
