Nutrience echoes our sentiments about healthy, active lifestyles. We are not the poster children for physical activity, but our pets are in great shape because they motivate us to get outdoors and be active. Whether it’s agility, walking the cats, or just playing a quick game of fetch – our pets activity influence our activity levels.
There are many ways you can keep your pets active during the cold winter months. Just be sure you continue to feed them a high-quality food like Nutrience. There is a lot to like about this food (check out our earlier review here).

Nutrience asked us to talk about ways we keep our pets healthy and slim – specifically, our cats. Besides feeding them a grain-free diet, we focus on physical activity…
You may not think that cats enjoy going for walks, but it really depends on the cat! We take two of ours out for walks every morning. They know that they have to wear their harness, so they wait for us at the door each morning at 7 am. We just take them around our yard which is about ½ acre (plenty of things to explore). But, you could start out by taking them for walks around the house.
Agility
We have been trying to get our cats more into agility. It’s not always successful, but we keep trying. We set up an obstacle course using the Kyjen Dog Agility Starter Kit with Dog Tunnel Weave Pole High Jump Obstacles, Large, Red
Treadmill
Our cats love to walk on the treadmill. We have a specialized treadmill from PetZen, but you could use your own treadmill. This is especially valuable on days that are cold and windy.
With winter fast approaching, we have to work a little harder to keep our pets active. It’s cold outside and our pets require a little more encouragement to head outdoors. They also need a high-protein food that is going to keep them warm – which is another reason why we think you’ll like Nutrience.
