The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and many delicious foods. But while we enjoy the treats and festive foods, our furry friend also gets spoiled with special foods and treats. After the holidays, it’s time to get your dog’s diet back on track and keep them healthy and happy.

At 4 Strong Paws, we’re here to guide you through this transition with simple tips.

1. Start with portion control

Holidays often result in overfeeding, especially when family and friends treat dogs. To help dogs regain their healthy weight and energy levels, begin by serving them their regular portion sizes and avoid giving additional snacks.

2. Reintroduce a Balanced Diet

Return to a balanced diet with high-quality protein, healthy fats, and vitamins and minerals. Four Strong Paws products are designed to give your dog all the nutrients it needs to stay healthy.

3. Ease Off the Holiday Treats

As much as one would love to continue giving them those special holiday treats, it’s best to ensure they indulge in moderation. Replace rich treats with healthier options like 4SP’s line of yummy and nutritious natural snacks.

4. Hydration is Key

Your dog’s body needs water to flush out toxins and maintain energy. Ensure they always have access to fresh water, especially if they’ve been eating salty or rich holiday foods.

5. Gradual Transition

If you’ve been feeding them different foods during the holidays, gradually transition back to their regular diet. Sudden changes can upset their stomachs. Mix their holiday food with regular food over a week until they return to their normal meals.

6. Stay Active

Exercise is a great way to help your dog’s body recover from overindulgence. Take them on longer walks, play fetch, or enjoy some outdoor fun together. Activity keeps them fit and burns off those extra calories.

7. Monitor Their Health

Keep an eye on your dog’s behavior, weight, and overall health. If you notice any unusual symptoms, such as lethargy, upset stomach, or excessive thirst, consult your vet.

8. Regular Feeding Schedule

Consistency is key for your dog’s digestive system. Feed your dog at the same times each day to help regulate its metabolism and avoid unnecessary begging.
