[QUOTE=smithJ09;2800456]DO NOT be sad, your dogs are not over weight coco is 2yrs and 4mos and 7.5lbs is not too much for a yorkie thats 2yrs old. and Pebbles is 5 lbs at a year and a half, thats not fat!!
If you want to talk about fat, my little guy Smith just turned 4months on august 25 and I took him to the vet this pass weekend (Labor Day) and he weights 6.2lbs!!!!!! thats fat.

Age and weight are not what you should be comparing. It is weight compared to their body structure that is important. There are plenty of 12 pound yorkies that are not overweight and there are some 5 pound yorkies that are overweight -- it depends on their bone structure and how much they should way based on their body type.
You cannot tell someone that their dog is not overweight just because it is 7.5 pounds at 2 years old! That does not make any sense at all. |
