My big girl needs to loose 10-15 lbs. I feel horrible for letting her get overweight, but I just wasn't seeing it. She apparently hides her weight well.
Anyways....I'm trying to figure out how to go about doing this. She currently eats Diamond Naturals, 4 cups a day. I cut her back to 3 cups yesterday & she whined & whined & whined & whined.....& then my dad gave her some more food.
I talked to him about that. She doesn't like "fillers" like carrots, etc. She also doesn't get many treats.
I'd like to cut her back to 2 cups a day to see how fast she looses the weight....I don't want her to drop it all too fast. I'm also looking at different foods.....what do you think of this one?
She's 4 years old. Has hip things going on. So the gluco/chondro would be a benefit, but IMO, there isn't enough in foods to do a whole lot of good. I haven't got a whole lot of choice here in the boonies....I'd like to keep price down-ish. I've looked at Canidae Platinum & tried samples of the Candiae, but all I end up with is sick dogs.
