Animal And Company: Re: A fat doxie, help

This does help, I am going to get measure cups and I am going to get Green beans and carrot the little ones. This helps more than I can tell you. Thanks

Talking about the good quality food. As our vet put it, you can feed these little dogs filet mignon and be able to afford it; they shouldn't eat but a tiny bit. He wasn't suggesting filet mignon, just saying that cheap dog food was not necessary for such a little one. He would disagree with many on the list about what exactly quality dog food is, and he majored in that in vet school, but that another discussion. Again, I'd be sure to discuss it with your vet as well as us.

My dogs weigh aroiund 12-14lb they get 1/4c in the am and one in the pm.treats are 100% natural chicken strips,fat free. If you feel by cutting back her food she looks at you with those puppy eyes add on fat free veggies,like beans,carrotts boiled chicken breast etc..you do not show your love thru food but by doing everything to keep her around longer...hope that helped also try to feed good quality food with out fillers..it isn't the quantity that counts but the quality...
