Question
My JR, Nely is 10 years old. He weighs about 21 lbs..What exercise and feeding practice should i use to help him lose weight?

Answer
Hello Larry

Cut down feeding to twice a day, once in the AM and once in the PM
A good brisk 30 minute work twice a day will do wonders, as well as feeding
a low calorie food. Jacks love to play and exercise, so throw a ball or Frisbee
around the yard when you can too, it's all play to them.
Good luck
