Welcome to the Katie K9

Hefty Hound Health Club

What is the Hefty Hound Health Club?

Katie K9 is very concerned about the growing number of overweight dogs. It may be that we humans have trouble controlling our own diets, but we can control that of our dogs! Heck, our dogs have a personal chef and exercise trainer that lives with them - IT'S YOU!

To help you and your dog get started with a healthier lifestyle we invite you to apply to the Hefty Hound Health Club. 10 participants will be chosen for an 8 week program of diet, exercise, and wellness training.

If you are one of the 10 chosen, the program will include:

bullet

 An 8 week program requiring you to attend an initial weigh-in, submit bi-weekly reports of your dog's progress via email or phone, and attendance at the final weigh-in

bullet

Personalized attention - only 10 dogs will be chosen to participate

bullet

Free dog food from

bullet

A customized weight management plan for you and your dog including amounts of food to feed and allowed treats

bullet

An exercise plan customized to your dog's fitness level. Participants will be expected to walk their dog's at least twice a day. Distance and frequency will start slow and build up as your dog's health improves.

bullet

A Hefty Hound Journal and a KTK9 pen to track your progress through the program. This will require daily entry of food, treats and exercise.

bullet

At the end of the program you will be provided with a maintenance plan to maintain your dog’s new healthy lifestyle

PLUS - other surprises along the way!!

As you can see this program is not for everybody. This program will require daily attention to your dog's eating and exercise habits. Prior to the first weigh-in you will need to have a wellness exam completed by your vet and a signed approval from them (a form will be provided for you). If you are ready to get serious about your dog's health and commit to a lifetime of wellness, send us your application today!

Play Along at Home!

After the initial kick-off for the 10 chosen participants we will announce a Play Along at Home Hefty Hound Health Club. Log onto the KTK9 web site to print out a generic food, treat and exercise plan along with journal pages and you can get your dog on the road to health! **Do not begin any new food and exercise program without the permission of your veterinarian** Send us before and after pictures of your dog and we will post them on the KTK9 web site.
