She told me he had a hard time with dog food so she's been feeding him 3 Junior Bacon Cheese burgers and a 5 piece nugget from Wendy's 2 times a day for the past year!!!! I know this can't be good for the poor thing, he's 6 years old (human) as well so I know that age is working against him too. I would like to see him lose some weight but I'm not really sure about how to get him off the burgers and nuggets because I'm defiantly not going to feed him that. Any suggestions???  |
Holy cow. I'd be fat too if I ate all that every day. I'm so happy for him that he is going to be taken care of properly.
I would just put out the food, if he's hungry he'll eat. and if not well then he'll lose some weight. Dogs usually eat better if there is another dog there to compete with.
