i changed their food to a glucosamine diet but mostly because of maggie's leg (she broke it several months ago).

it was basically the same food...just with glucosamine added.

I think cutting back the food it what did it. I really do. I also give her veggies as treats instead of dog treats. she gets an OCCASIONAL snack of yorkie yummies, but really, it is primarily carrots and green beans. I think you should try that before changing their food maggie gets 1/4 of food per day, divided into 2 feedings. and then some veggies between meals.
