Dog thread!🐾

You're doing it right - cut back on food and increase exercise. Make sure you measure out the food and feed less at meals if you gave treats (it makes it easier to know how much to feed if you use his kibble as treats). Adding veggies like @Ilovemychicks08 mentioned can help him feel less hungry. It can take months! If that doesn't work there are weight management dog foods you could try too.

Thanks!! That’s good to know!! He should be like 60 lbs max or MAYBE 65 if we’re talking pet weight and he looked GREAT at 57-58 lbs so he needs to lose like 10-15 lbs

Weight management foods can be pricy

True. Diamond Naturals has one that isn't too bad.

He’s on Dog Chow now which he loves but it’s so much higher calorie but the Purina One got too expensive. But I do still have the bag of it now so idk. I don’t want to keep switching foods though.

Have you tried giving him baby carrots? Both of my dogs like them. Dorie used to not eat them but now she loves them. I'm not sure what made her change her mind. I guess if they're hungry enough even the veggies are good!

I think I will donate the Purina One to a shelter or something where they can use it faster lol
