Total day feeding is less then half cup with either string beans or broccoli.
Her treats are vegtables. I walk both dogs together and it adds up to about 1 mile daily. The Vet wants her weight down as when she was 3 mo. old she broke her leg. She had 2 surgeries. One to put rods in her leg and the 2mo. later to have them removed. The Vet recommended a product manufactured by ArK Naturals. It is a beef jerky with Glucosamine and chondroitin, as she had a severe limp. The limp is completely gone and the Vet suggested to keepm her on this daily,as it will be of great help when she ages. I am glad this happened before the economy took a slide, as I call her my $5,000
baby. Her orthopedic surgery was a fortune.But she is worth every penny.  |
