| My vet said Lexi is FAT I took Lexi to the vet 2 months ago and she weighed 5lb 6oz (or 8oz). I took her back today (allergy follow up) and she weighed 6lb 5oz. I am not complaining by any means cuz she is absolutely beautiful, but my vet said she is FAT and that she needs to go to 2 meals a day instead of 3. How many times a day do you feed your pup? Lexi will be 1 next month...

| I leave the food down until its finished. But my Lilly is gaining to much weight. Its very hard to limit 3 dogs. You put down all the dishes and the next thing you know the fat ones are eating the left overs. And my answer to your question is once they hit the 1 year mark its 1 feeding. I always cut back to only two feedings at around 7-9 months.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Chanel said welcome to the chubbo club...my vet said that too about her and believe me - it is HARD trying to get them to lose a pound...almost as hard as it is for US to lose 15...She's a beautiful girl and to me Lexi doesn't look fat at all ... must be that the vet couldn't feel her ribs ? that's what mine said about Chanel...can't feel the ribs = overweight |

| Sounds like she just went through a growth spurt. My male is about the same age as her and he still goes through spurts of growth. I free feed him hard and give a little moist in the morning.

| I noticed her dresses getting a little snugger around the belly, (not lenght) but didn't think anything of it. I guess I was in denile.
