Doggy Boot Camp Options
Being overweight is bad for humans, and it affects dogs in very similar ways. Carrying extra weight can significantly shorten your dog's life, cause a myriad of health problems and even alter your dog's temperament.
Here at Penny Paws we want to provide you with all the support we can to ensure your dog lives a long, healthy and happy life. Working closely with the Mobile Vet Nurse we can provide a full weight loss service. Chrissy provides all the medical expertise and advice and we can help you with the leg work and implementing a play routine that will help your dog stay slim and healthy and add years to it's life.
To get your dog's weight down and enjoyment of life up we will take your dog on one of our popular group walks on week days. We can also provide a weekend walking service if you are unable to walk your dog then.
We currently provide two boot camp options - the 3 week slim down and the 6 week shape up.

3 Week Slim Down - $250
This short burst of daily walking will get your dog back on the path to health and fitness. If your dog is only a little overweight this 15 walk burst maybe the right option for you. We will also come out to your house and give you some easy tips and games you can play to get your dog moving at home and make meal times more fun and challenging for your canine friend.
6 Week Shape Up - $450
Like the 3 Week Package we will take your dog on our daily group walks and consult with you on getting your dog moving at home. With the 30 walks you will see a happier and healthier dog in 6 weeks. For best results Chrissy the Mobile Vet Nurse can provide you nutritional advice and fortnightly weigh ins. By the end of 6 weeks of daily walks we know your dog will have added years to its life and will be looking forward to our walks every day.
Weekend Walking - $25 per walk
While there aren't group walks scheduled for the weekend we understand that sometime you can't get out to give your overweight dog the exercise it needs. We walk Penny every day so let us know if you would like your dog to walk with us.

Case Study - Lord Louie von Houndlinghausen
Penny has a number of sausagey friends and one of her most special friends is Lord Louie. Unfortunately his lovely owner damaged her hip and was unable to walk him as regularly as he needed. When we started walking Louie daily he was about an 8 on the above chart, was irritable and growled at most people and dogs and certainly did not like walking.
The first walk with Louie was had to walk him on lead as he would sit down and not budge in protests at having to get moving in the outdoors. His tail was always between his legs and he was pretty much a picture of a sad dog used to getting his own way by putting on sad eyes.
After three walks we no longer needed the lead and Louie would walk along happily and occasionally break into a trot. After a week his tail was up and he would run along happily. After two weeks he even began socialising with other dogs and would bound through the long grass. We are at the end of the three week mark and Louie's owner reports a more sprightly dog at home and his waistline is returning. He even curls up on my knee after walks now and enjoys frollicking with Penny. We are very proud of Louie's progress and his lovely Mum's great work on his diet to get him back into healthy shape and playing like the young dog he is.
