hmmm.... ok so let's skip the kibble.. can you give her baby carrots to chew on?? They do the same job! or celery.... frozen chicken broth cubes (layla tends to "chew" those instead of licking them)
How big is she?? how much are you feeding?
Layla is 5.5 (she is heavier in the summer than the winter... ) so she gets about... 1/4 c. breakfast.. and 1/4 c. dinner. maybe a little less.. and usually gets a snack of cottage cheese and apple sauce in there somewhere... i found out she only needed to eat twice a day ( i was feeding her 3 times) by lettin gher tell me when she was hungry (by leaving kibble out). so make sure she needs to eat and isnt' just getting it because... how much exercise does she get?? I know it is hard in the summer because it is SO hot.. but i try and get her to play hard for at least 30 min a day. and come winter we do hour walks at night... anyways... get back ot me on that stuff.... i'll try and think of other things
tell your bf the high protien is the BEST thing you can be doing for her.. it giver her the energy she needs... if you were feeding all carbs.. i'd be saying THAT would be what is making her gain weight.
