So, we did because we trust our vet and her judgement completely! The next month when we took the "porky yorkie" in for a checkup after a month of being "tough" and sticking to our guns, Miss Paws tipped the scales at 4 lb.!!!  We had been so proud of ourselves ... been so tough ... Dr. Lucy weighed her 3 times ... thought something must be wrong with her scale?!!!  While nobody was looking, our baby had a little growth spurt! She wasn't overweight this time! We did a great job switching her back to her healthy dog food ... fruit ... veggies ... and other little "treats" that are good for her! We're trusting Dr. Lucy and sticking with the dog food!!  The reason? I don't think she would ever make a disclaimer like the one below from the website ... and I DO hold her liable for my Toto's health!!

Porky yorkie...Cracks me up! Miss Prissy paws! I love it! You feed her fruits and veggies? The woman we got our lil monkey from said to keep her on a strict diet and never feed her wet food so we jsut give her dry kibble and vitakraft yogurt treats. I'd love to give her fruits and veggies tho. She likes apples. Little sneak stole my apple core one day! LOL
