Weight Loss Success for Poncho the Chihuahua!

We are so happy to announce that Talent Hounds member Poncho has been having great success in his goal of slimming down and getting healthy!  Since we first met him when filming for our new upcoming Fit Dogs Rock! episode coming to the Pet Network, Poncho has lost a few pounds already and is noticeably more trim and full of energy.

Mom, Marcy credits Ponchos success to:

Sticking to a strict diet with less, lower calorie food and fewer and healthier treat! Plus no human scraps.

More exercise which Poncho now appears to enjoy. He is almost able to keep up with sisters Sweetie, Lulu and Shivers who are all active Jack Russells.

Plus the newest addition to the family adorable Shivers has definitely brought more energy into the house and more play time with big brother Poncho.

    Eliminating the table scraps and not sharing the people treats (ex. peanuts) was HUGE for us too. I think that’s how Toby got so overweight so fast in the first place.

      I agree, every little bit ads up, better to really focus on how much your dog is actually being fed in a day.

    Yay for Poncho! It sounds like his success story is similar to our Cricket’s….making adjustments to food and bringing in a new younger sibling to get everyone moving. Hooray for these success stories, and for everyone who is caring about their pets weight and health! Great job!
