maggie hasn't really got much more exercise than she usually does, but we did cut her food back. she now gets 1/4 cup per day, broken up into 2 meals. she is getting more veggies for treats instead of regular dog treats. she gets yorkie yummies and a few other treats once in a while, but her primary "treats" are carrots and green beans.

she was getting about 1/2 cup of food per day so we cut it back slowly to 1/4 cup which was recommended by her vet and the food distributer. it seems to have worked

in fact, we cut back the food for all 3 dogs by a little and they have all lost weight. our min pin is 13.5 lbs, he used to be 15.7. my cocker is 25.6, she used to be just over 28 lbs. so it has been good for everyone
