Mason is doing great in his weight loss program! This sweet boy comes to Ultimutt 2x weekly for daycare and while he is here, gets a good workout in the fitness center. Mason has a varied exercise routine that consists of walking in the underwater treadmill (with his toy of course), running on the dry treadmill, swimming in our outdoor pool, and working his muscles on the FitPAWS strength equipment. His family has been very pleased with not only his weight loss, but also reports he is much calmer at home on his fitness days. Two 🐾 up for Mason!
