is the overbite common with the breed?

I just looked it up. Says about 50% of whippets have an overbite. Not sure how severe it has to be to be called an overbite. Some of the pictures showed much more severe than Pi.

His doesn't seem severe to me.

I think the bone broth will be helpful for that. Lots of calcium in it. Maybe thats why he is growing so fast. How old is he now?

As far as the keto diet, Would one lose weight if they only changed part of the diet?

Keto diet works by changing your metabolism from insulin based to ketosis (in the liver). To get into ketosis, you have to severely limit all carbohydrates (so you don't stimulate insulin release) and up the amount of healthy fats in your diet. Ketosis metabolizes fat directly, even your stored fat, which is why you can lose weight quickly.
It's a fairly radical change in your diet, and can cause some stress.

I haven't been following it closely and gained back 15 lbs. Eating too much summer fruit. I will get back to it soon, now that melon season is over.

I don't think so either. We pulled back his lips in that one picture... he was sleeping.
