[Sweet Apple]

Our vet suggested also cutting back a bit on the starch that Layla gets but I know we need to cut back on treats too.

I always feel like I have kinda failed her when they tell us she has gained weight- but come hell or high water- we'll be back down to 6.4 (that just sounds so tiny when she ahs been 7.2 for so long)

Anyone else fighting the weight battle?

Have you thought about raw medallions (Nature's Variety)...they're real convenient, as long as you remember to take two out at night and thaw in fridge ...Apple has one in the morning, and one in the evening and only green beans, or a little bit of sliced apple for treats, and it really maintains her weight...She pretty much doesn't get grains/starches...To be honest, she prefers the raw and veges much more than grains, etc... I don't think you would have to increase the unwanted walks, if you cut down on the calories....Good luck....
