Toby weighed 8 lbs when we got him December and he was 3 1/2 years old. About two months ago he weighed 11 lbs and is now on a diet. I am feeding him Natural Balance Low Calorie kibble and he gets NO treats except Himalayan Chews. I didn't think he was fat as he has a long body but when he was diagnosed with LP, he had to immediately go on a diet. He's now down to about 10.3 lbs and getting him down to that weight took a good four weeks. I am working on getting him back to 8 lbs. He used to get special treats after his bath every week (Zuke's). Now he just gets 1-2 carrots. I give him 20 pieces of kibble twice a day and that's it! I have to admit getting the weight off him has helped his LP tremdously and will continue to keep him on NB.
