POOCHES ARE NOW "PUMPING IRON"!

"Strength training proven effective for canines."

Recent report from The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta tell us that thirty percent of American adults - and one out of five children - are clinically obese. Our "leisure enhanced" lifestyle allows us to eat too much and to exercise too little.

As troubling as this is, it's not the whole story...

Our pets are becoming obese, too!

And obesity in animals can cause the same health problems for them that it does for human beings. A dog or cat that's too fat runs the serious risk of diabetes, stroke, heart attack and cancer as do we when we're overweight. After all, we're in the same taxonomic phylum they are.

It's natural, of course, for us to want to make our pets happy. Too often, though, that results in them eating too much. Dogs - especially - are prone to over eating. Nature has given them the

same kind of instinct to "load up" in times of plenty for the times when scarcity will prevail. So dogs pack on the "El-Bees" the same way humans do.And our modern-day hectic schedules often do not allow us the time to properly exercise our "best friends".

Historically, most canine breeds were developed for physical labor. Dogs were our first domesticated animals. Our hunter-gather ancestors found that certain juvenile-arrested wolf cubs made excellent partners in the hunt. And the practice of breeding dogs for specific work proceeded from there. Spaniels, setters, retrievers, hounds and terriers for tracking and chasing game. Shepherds, collies and heelers for herding live stock. Mastiffs, pinchers and Danes for watch dogs. Working breeds all. These animals - and their less "pedigreed" cousins - are all genetically designed for an active life. Consequently, they are particularly liable to illness when

they become obese... especially joint and bone troubles.

One solution has been developed by a woman named Jacqui Everett.

When Ms. Everett's Giant Schnauzer, Jet Black, hurt himself making a particularly high jump, she eschewed the suggested surgery and put her dog on a weight training program instead.

"I knew from my own experiences, " she says, " that alternative medicine, healing herbs, massage and body building exercise would heal the hairline crack and strengthen and build the muscles.

Good nutrition, plenty of water, vitamins, herbs, and minerals laid the strong foundation for the daily treatment Jet was about to receive. The nutrients kept Jet's bones from getting weaker and prevented the crack becoming larger. Now was the time to begin building the muscles a little at a time."

No easy task, of course. The poor creature couldn't very well start "pumping iron" like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

So Jacqui designed a special harness that allowed Jet Black to carry additional weight under his chest. She started him on a program of adding weights - more and more poundage - as the animal gained strength. In a remarkably short time the hairline crack in Jet Black's hip healed, his nascent dysplasia disappeared and the animal was once again healthy, pain-free and physically sound.

Realizing her efforts were extremely effective, Ms. Everett continued the weight training with Jet Black to help him maintain a healthy canine physique. That, too, was a success. And Jet Black is now a near perfect specimen of his breed.

Helping her beloved pet made Jacqui Everett realized she could help other dog owners, too. The device she created is now sold as the "Ruff Stuf Animal Exercise Harness". It comes in various colors and in four sizes - from extra small to extra large - and allows dogs to enjoy the life-extending health benefits of the same type of strength training professional human athletes count on to develop their peak performance abilities... in other words, "pumping iron."

Is your canine "best friend" obese?

To check, simply rub your hands over your animal's chest. The skin should move easily back and forth, and you should be able to feel the ribs. Your dog should have a definable "waist" - a small tuck-in at the stomach - at the bottom of the rib cage. Even easier, just take a look at your canine from the side: If your pet looks pregnant, it's too fat. A sight check from above that reveals an "apple shape" in your animal's middle also confirms obesity. And that means it's surely time to do something about it.

So, if you find your pooch is getting a little "pouchy", or is indeed overweight, you may want to learn more about the Ruff Stuff harness... immediately.

After all, our "best friends" are people too. And they deserve good health and long lives as much as we do.
