 Layla needs a diet!
Well, my fit little baby is now a chubby little adult! At 10 months, Layla was spayed and she weighed 5.5 lbs. 1.5 years (a couple months ago) she weighed almost 8.5 lbs! I just got her a short summer cut and you can really notice her little round tummy, and even just picking her up she feels very soft around her ribs. Her breeder estimated she'd be around 6.5 lbs full grown. I know she's starting to get overweight now, and I'd like to change that now before it gets worse! I have recently started feeding her Orijen, which is very dense, and I free-feed her. To have more control I think I'd like to start feeding her twice a day... I leave for work just before 8 am, and get home at just after 5 pm. She is very active when I'm home, we play and she runs all over the house. She's definitely not short on energy!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how much I should be feeding a dog of her size? Thanks!
