- | Making A Zip Line For Your Dog | + | Diet for Overweight Dogs: Weight Loss & Management Tips |
- | Keeping our dog safe, and abiding by the rules of many of the places we visit, means that Myles spend a lot of time on-leash. Though we’re always exploring new places, life at the end of a six foot tether doesn’t provide him with much freedom. So, to give Myles more room to wander while we’re camping, we made an inexpensive zip line for our dog! | + | When people take their dogs to the veterinarian, the last thing they expect to hear is that their pets are overweight or obese. Many people will flat out deny it and say that they’re just " |
- | Zip Line vs. Tie-Out | + | How Do I Know My Dog is Overweight or Obese? |
- | The zip line has a lot of [[https:// | + | While a vet should tell you if your dog is overweight or obese, there are some telltale signs that will tell you. The most obvious sign of an overweight or obese dog is a lack of a waist (between hips and ribcage), giving them a rounded, barrel-like look. If your dog is more than a few pounds overweight, the hips and ribcage will be completely invisible. |
+ | The second sign is inactivity, especially in breeds that enjoy exercising and have naturally higher levels of activity. Dogs are [[http:// | ||
- | First, jumping up every two minutes to untangle your dog doesn’t happen with a zip line. If you have a dog who’s constantly wrapping his tie-out around the picnic table, tent stake, trees, and your chair, you know how impossible it is to relax with those shenanigans going on! | ||
+ | Another sign of overweight problems or obesity is diet. How much are you feeding your dog? Does he or she get a lot of people food or dog treats? These are a few of many questions you’ll have to answer if you suspect your dog is overweight. Many dog owners don’t know that they’re most likely overfeeding their dogs, so it’s crucial to feed your dog a diet that reflects his or her body size and activity levels. | ||
- | Second, you’ll never again feel the dread of watching your dog bolt to the end of their unforgiving cable tie-out. The zip line has more give and protects pets from injury. | + | What is the difference between Overweight |
+ | When first learning about dog weight and diet, the terms ‘overweight’ and ‘obese’ are often thrown around. While one is worse than the other, they’re both serious issues that are far too common. Overweight is a term that simply means over the limit of what your dog should weigh, which is quite common amongst many dogs. It’s easy to fix with a stricter diet and more exercise, which your vet can guide you through. | ||
- | Third, the zip-line won’t trip you when you’re stumbling around the campfire in the dark! | ||
- | Materials | + | Obesity, however, beyond overweight |
- | All you’ll need to make a zip line for your dog is some nylon rope and two spring clasps. Any hardware store will have these materials, or you can order them online | + | Why is Obesity |
+ | Weight problems and obesity are both terrible for dogs, leading to multiple health issues that are sometimes irreversible. Here are some common conditions that overweight and obese dogs may run into: | ||
+ | Arthritis | ||
- | We chose a rope with a smooth cover, which makes it comfortable to handle when we’re putting it up and taking it down. It also has a bit of stretch for some shock absorbency to protect Myles from a sudden stop. | + | Diabetes |
+ | Heart Disease | ||
+ | Liver Failure | ||
- | Rod used his Eagle Scout skills to handle the knot tying. He made quick work of the two bowline knots, attaching the spring clasps to the ends of rope. | + | (Image: [[https:// |

+ | Are Certain Breeds Prone to Weight Problems and Obesity? | ||
+ | Yes, there are some dog breeds that are more prone to obesity. However, small dogs, in general, are more likely to be overweight. Here are some breeds that may fall prey to weight gain: | ||
- | We decided on a 50 foot line, which gives Myles plenty of room to explore. And because having too much is better than not enough. | + | Chihuahua |
+ | Yorkshire Terrier | ||
+ | English Mastiff | ||
- | That length also gives us more flexibility if we’re at a campsite with few anchor points. If we don’t have trees, we can attach one end to the ladder on the back of our motorhome and the other to a picnic table or post. | + | Bullmastiff |
- | Setting Up The Zip Line | + | Rottweiler |
- | Before setting up your dog’s zip line at a park or campground, check the rules to verify that they allow the rope to be wrapped around the trees. Also, placing a 1 to 2 inch webbing between the tree and the rope will help protect trees with soft bark. Nails and screws should not be attached to the tree when putting up your zip line. | + | Boxer |
+ | Corgi | ||
+ | Pug | ||
- | It takes about five minutes to set up our zip line. In the photo below, we’ve wrapped one end of the rope around a tree and clipped the spring clasp on to the rope. Then, keeping the rope taught, we ran the rope to another tree, going around the tree as many times as necessary to take up the slack before clipping the spring clasp back to the rope. | + | Labrador Retriever |
+ | Golden Retriever | ||
+ | French Bulldog | ||
- | The rope is placed high enough to just give Myles the ability to lie down comfortably. Giving him just enough leeway keeps him from building up too much velocity and jerking at the end of his leash if he decides to chase a gofer or give a squirrel a run for his money. | + | Boston Terrier |
+ | English Bulldog | ||
- | We also use the dog zip line when our campsites have a ramada. It’s easy to wrap the line around two posts and snap the ends back on the rope. | + | Staffordshire Terrier |
- | One Zip Line For Two Dogs | + | Bull Terrier |
- | When we still had Ty and Buster, we made separate runs for each dog on the zip line. | + | Pekingese |
+ | Maltese | ||
+ | Bichon | ||
- | We’d wrap the rope around the first tree and clip the spring clasp back to the rope. Then we’d make a complete pass around a second tree, creating the first section of zip line where Ty’s attached in the photo below. Then we’d wrap the rope around a third tree and clip the spring clasp back to the rope. That created the second run of zip line where Buster is attached in the photo below. Giving the boys their own space kept them from getting tangled around each other! | + | Great Dane |
- | Connecting Dogs A Zip Line | + | How Can I Help My Dog Lose Weight? |
+ | Call your Vet | ||
- | Pets should never be attached | + | Talk to your vet for help with diet and weight management tips. There are some things we can suggest, but completely changing a dog’s diet and lifestyle should always be done with a vet’s approval and supervision. Every dog has its own nutritional needs, which is why getting professional advice is crucial. |
+ | Check your Dog’s Food | ||
+ | Check your dog’s food label and see how much it calls for, then compare it to how much you’re feeding. Different dog food brands have different caloric amounts per cup, so you might be feeding more than needed. Also, some brands of dog food tend to call for more food than necessary, so you may have to cut down on the kibble (with vet approval). Another thing to check for is low-quality filler ingredients, | ||
- | What’s " | + | More exercise |
+ | One of the easiest things to start doing is to take your dog for a walk! While you shouldn’t drag an out-of-shape dog out for a 5k run, start pushing your dog to be a little more active by setting up walks throughout the day. If your dog doesn’t want to get out and move, try using dog-safe vegetables like broccoli or carrots to coax him or her into moving around. | ||
- | Place your pup’s water bowl within easy reach and you’re done! Just remember never to leave your pal unattended on the zip line. | + | Swap Out Treats for Veggies |
+ | While some dogs will not approve of this, but many other dogs love vegetables! If your dog is a big veggie lover, swap out treats for veggies instead. If your dog is not a vegetable lover, try to find high-quality treats that are low in calories per treat. Treats that are biscuit-like, | ||
