Dogs it's called "Mini Weight Care 30". It has higher Protein, less Fat & Calories plus a Fat Burner. I started using it this week, my Mother hopefully has STOPPED feeding them Table Food? Since they are a whopping 12.5 lbs. a piece. Artie gained 2 1/2 lbs., Abigail gained 4 1/2 lbs., Pom Pom gained 2 lbs. since my Mom moved in 2 months ago! I Lectured her and warned everyone in my Household NOT to Feed them! I promised myself I would
"Walk" them longer or more often to try to burn more Fat? I hope it works or I'll end up getting a "Treadmill" for Christmas? |
What is this "fat burner" thing? Sounds very suspicious to me.
Just for a general guide:

Personally I think Royal Canin is horrid food. Fillers, fillers, fillers. In the ingredients, there's corn, gluten, beet pulp, brewer's rice, rice hulls, natural chicken flavor (if they really do put good meat they wouldn't have to put this in). This is all bad ingredients. And this is just from the top of my head.
I suggest a carb free food for losing weight on your dogs.
It's better to give your dog better food rather than over-exercising them. Yorkies have very small bones, I worry about their joints.
For small dogs, 4.5lbs is a lot!
even 2 lbs is a lot! My yorkie is 4.4lbs, just the right weight. If she gains 2 more lbs, she will be MASSIVELY overweight. Even my shihtzu who is 8.6 lbs, if she gains 2 lbs it's already a quarter of her weight.
Please, please, find a better food.
