Q: Buy a canine scale, or use whatever weighing process you used before, and make a chart. Chart your dog's weight to see what progress has been made. Your dog should also be weighed monthly by the vet until she or he is the ideal weight. If you're restricting your dog's caloric intake and making sure they are getting enough exercise, but still not getting the results that you expect, consult with your veterinarian again. There may be a need for further calorie restriction, and/or a need to increase the amount of exercise. Your initial plan, while developed with you vet, may not be perfect for your pet's needs. Feel free to change it, with the help and advisement of your vet, if it's not working. There are several possible, non-medical reasons why your dog is unable to lose weight. These can include someone else in the household giving extra food or treats without you knowing about it or the dog getting into food supplies. There are some medical issues that can cause weight gain and also make it very difficult, to impossible, for your dog to lose weight. For example, Hypothyroidism prevents your dog from burning calories like they should while also decreasing their desire to be active. This is a double whammy when it comes to weight control. Diabetes and Cushing's disease are also medical reasons that can prevent your dog from losing weight.
A: Monitor your dog's weight at least once a week. Evaluate whether your weigh-loss plan is extreme enough. Think about ways your dog might be getting additional calories. Consider medical issues may be a cause.

Q: When it comes to avoiding dehydration, you want to see how much water you need. As stated, 9 to 13 cups (two to three liters) of fluid, primarily in the form of water, is necessary for the average person; however, you may need to make a point of drinking more water under certain conditions.  If you exercise, make sure to drink extra water before, during, and after your workout routine. If you're experiencing excess heat or humidity in your area, you'll need to drink more water than usual to make up for fluid lost through sweat. When you're sick, particularly if you're vomiting or experiencing diarrhea, you'll need to drink more water to make up for lost fluids. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, you'll need more water. It's recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding women consume about 10 to 13 cups (2.4 to 3 liters) of water a day. A good way to assess if you're getting enough water is looking at your urine color. Clear or pale yellow urine indicates you're consuming a healthy amount of water. Darker yellow urine indicates you need to up your fluid intake. You should make an effort to make sure you're getting enough water. Try to keep a log, on your phone or in a journal, of how much water you're drinking each day. If you have a smartphone, there are many apps you can purchase that help you keep track of your daily water consumption. If you want to stay hydrated, certain beverages should be avoided. Certain fluids promote dehydration and should not be a part of a healthy diet.  Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages can cause dehydration. You should drink these beverages in moderation. You should also drink water while drinking alcohol, tea, or coffee to help counteract the effects of these liquids.  Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, teas, and colas, promote dehydration. You should avoid such drinks in general.  Fruit juices are often heavy on carbohydrates and not enough sodium. Try cutting them with 50% water first to help hydrate yourself. Dehydration can cause serious medical problems. If you or someone you know is experiencing signs of dehydration, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Signs of dehydration include the following:  Fatigue Lack of appetite Red or flushed skin Light-headedness Dry cough Dark urine
A: Assess your personal needs. Watch urine color. Track your water intake. Avoid certain beverages. Learn the signs of dehydration.

Q: This will probably be one of your main sources of income. Avon provides each representative with a personalized website they can use to take orders, give information about the products and disseminate contact information.  Name your website URL something that's easy to remember; it could be your name or something that grabs prospective customers' attention. Even though Avon is called a "direct selling" company, you don't have to go door-to-door to sell it anymore. You can use your website to sell Avon to customers who are not even near you geographically, for example, by sending the link to your online store to family in another state. In fact, some Avon reps sell exclusively online. New Avon sales representatives get a discount on samples, so stock up while you can. You will also receive free brochures to assist you in selling Avon. Order some business cards with your name, phone number, email address and website printed on them. You have to pay for all of the sales materials you order, but according to Avon, these start up costs are usually recovered in the first month of your business. It's important that you let everyone know that you're now selling Avon; customers won't just come to you!  Distribute brochures to friends, family members, co-workers and people at your church, gym, grocery store or anywhere else you frequent on a regular basis. Consider asking local businesses if you can leave the brochures in the break room or front lobby. Be sure to attach your business card to the brochures so people will know who to contact when they want to purchase Avon products. Utilize social media, especially if you have a lot of friends or follows on websites like Facebook or Twitter. Let everyone know you are now selling Avon and post about products you love. Try not to overdo it, since most people don't appreciate having their feeds overwhelmed with sales pitches. The best posts are those that give your personal experience with products that you love.  Consider setting up a party to help you get started selling Avon products. While parties are not required, it can be a useful selling tool.
A:
Set up your website. Order extra materials to get started. Spread the word.
