Hi I have an over weight lab and I was going to get her a starmark treat dispenser but I fill a little bad to get it for her beceaus if she can't get it out she won't be able to eat but I read that it's better to make them work for it lol what do y'all think
 
I think you need to get her a low calorie food and feed her the correct amount to lose weight. You could give her half and put half in a treat dispenser , I have a huge Kong food dispenser , my lab loves it , smacks it all around the house but my other dogs eat the food,

No treats, walk her everyday and don’t starve her do it gradually, after all it’s not her fault she gained weight
 
Thanks yes she is on a Low cal diet and she does get walks everyday I've already taken her to the vet and she is due for a weigh in in a couple of weeks
 
How much feed have you been giving her daily?
You can gradually reduce the amount of feed and use canned green beans in it's place.
 
I’m glad you are working with your vet , this is the food dispenser my lab loves. We had a few smaller ones but this fits her whole 1 cup meal in it.

Different foods allow for different amounts, read the calories , fat and protein and make sure she’s getting enough, or better yet ask your vets advice, I love my vet ❤️

Thanks yes she gets one cup every meal and she eats two times a day and she is losing weight when I took her in to the vet she weighed 93 know she is in the 80s
 
I know it’s hard to watch her on a diet , I have a boarding kennel and I do “ fat camp” for peoples dogs. I swear they look at me and think “ Really?? That’s all!!”

It is true , you can give her carrots , celery, plain popcorn .

She’ll live longer if she’s a healthy weight , good luck
