WASHINGTON, D.C. — A study monitoring the success of weight loss for people and animals showed better results when owners and pets worked together.

The People and Pets Exercising Together (P-Pet) yearlong study by Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Hill's Pet Nutrition tested three groups: people, dogs, and people and dogs.

The study showed that participating in a weight loss program with your pet, rather than alone, increases the plan's success rate, improves life quality and strengthens the pet-owner bond.
