My Bella is 10 months and she is a little heavy too..the vet told me to cut back her food, because she hit 9 lbs the last time she was there!
So, I feed her 1/3 cup of dry food (evo small bites) in the morning with only a smidge of wet food...like 2 teaspoons..and then dinner its the same thing...during the day i give her some treats too...but I have cut that down a lot as well..especially since she took a training class and we had to treat them a LOT..so i'm thinking that's how she gained a lot of her weight...
i play with her so much during the day...take her on walks too..
but yes, i think that you just need to cut back on the wet food. I used to give her a lot of wet food, and my vet said that it is pretty rich in fats and all the other good stuff, so she told me to cut back a lot on that.
hope this helps! :-)
so far...Bella is 8.6 lbs |
