The Week #1 Challenge
What do you do with your dog to help keep the pounds off? I don't know about you, but when I see October appear on the calendar I also imaging a big red sign that says WARNING: You are about to enter the holiday weight-gain period!Halloween (and lots of treating) is right around the corner with holiday guests and entertaining not far behind. And that means that you and your pets are likely to indulge just a little more than usual.
So with that in mind, we bring you the....
No Grain, No Gain Challenge

| Rocco and I like a romp at the beach or a hike in the mountains to help keep the pounds at bay! |
The ABOUND Philosophy
ABOUND was founded on the belief that pet foods could
be better, not just by a little, but by leaps and bounds. They envisioned a pet
food that used all-natural ingredients, contained high-quality proteins as the
first ingredient, and included real vegetables and wholesome whole grains.
And
for furry friends with more sensitive digestive systems, ABOUND now offers
a grain free line with NO wheat, corn or soy fillers, NO animal-by product meal and
NO artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
Benefits of Grain Free
Grain free pet foods more closely mimic your pet’s
natural, ancestral diet. ABOUND Grain Free recipes are protein-rich and feature
easy-to-digest carbohydrates, with none of the grains that some pets find difficult
to digest.
Take a look at the variety of grain free dog food and treat options from ABOUND! We haven't tried all of these yet, but Rocco LOVES the one's we have tried!
Dog food
- ABOUND Grain Free Salmon & Sweet Potato Recipe is made with high-quality protein-rich salmon to help build and maintain strong muscles as well as essential vitamins, minerals and important antioxidants help support the immune system.
Dog treats
- ABOUND Grain Free Sweet Potato Slices
- ABOUND Grain Free Fruit & Veggie Sweet Potato Sticks
-
ABOUND Grain Free Fish & Sweet Potato Sticks
- ABOUND Grain Free Sweet Potato Sticks with Blueberries
Made from North America sourced ingredients, the treats are full of healthy and tasty ingredients like sweet potato, cranberries and blueberries, and with a high fiber content to help maintain your pup's digestive system. Sounds like the perfect reward after -- or during -- a long walk or hike.

ReplyDeleteWe LOVE to hike! Especially with our pals.
Deletewe walk more and longer now... so we stay fitr and we can enjoy the best time of the year :o)
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad it's finally cooling off. So much nicer for walking!
DeleteYeah for fit dogs :) Cocoa and I had a good run this morning and she is resting on the couch for round 2!!
ReplyDeleteGood job both of you!
DeleteOur only wish is that we three could shrink down to Rocco's size to fly places and then on landing go back to our real size. You are a good fit pal, Rocco, with a big bark!
ReplyDeleteNow that would be magic! It's not too bad being small!
DeleteWe couldn't imagine our days without our morning walks, and fit in hikes whenever we can on weekends. Just recently found a wonderful doggie spa not far from us with an indoor K9 pool - Missy & Buzz went there for 30 mins a few weeks ago, and will go back soon for another swim session :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, we'd love to find a k9 pool. That sounds like so much fun!
DeleteWe have so many favorite activities to do together-hiking and walking, trick training, playing fetch, and more!

ReplyDeleteSchooner has a Whistle which tracks his activity for me. Schooner & Skipper and my self walk 1.5 to 2 miles in the morning. We walk in the evening another mile. Since it has been cooler where we live they love walking. We have a swimming pool and Schooner (our chunky monkey) does laps with me. We play ball in the backyard and Skipper loves to chase Schooner which helps him keep active.

ReplyDeleteWe spent this past week recovering from a flyball tournament. But we're planning on doing some nice long walks over the next week. I wear a fitbit, and have been making an effort to make sure I get a minimum of 10,000 steps in every day. When it is getting to the end of the day and I need some more steps, I grab the dog and a leash and get in an extra walk or two. Most days I've been averaging 14,000 steps, and some days I've been getting 20,000+ steps.
ReplyDeletePAWsome looking challenge!
ReplyDeleteGoing for a run with her, although she makes me look bad. While I struggle through the miles she trots along no problem
