Hey, no problem. I won't be throwing anything. They have one of those big scales on the floor. So if I can get a bit of understanding on how the weigh in's work, it's all good. She eats carrots, the baby ones. Not a lot. I've been giving her more green beans, frozen than anything. She LOVES green beans. Everything is normal. She's 2 and a half years old. Her last vet visit, weigh in was I believe two months ago. They said she was 8.6 and now when I weighed her at the clinic she was 8.8. She is small. She's 8" from floor to shoulder and 12" in length. Short legs. She's got a small, little head and face. lol. She's really not big at all, which is why I'm worrying so much about weight gain. I want her to be a healthier weight for her frame, I don't want her to have health problems or problems with her knees. I know she is somewhat overweight because I can see the extra yes, fat on her chest. Would it be better to just stick with the Acana small breed, but cut back her portion size a little? I just feel horrible. I know it's my fault she's overweight. I think I will take her for a visit with the vet and discuss her body issue and see what she says and advice she may have. Thank you everyone.
