Buster is 8 lbs 12ozs at 15 months. I have been told that he needs to loose weight. He should be around 5.5 according to my vet. He didn't look too fat but he definitely was not skinny. I think I was giving him too many treats or too large of a portion when we were training him. He just had LP surgery so we will be cutting back on his treats/ food a little and try to get his weight down. But with the post surgery restrictions I will take our time. I have read articles and they say to cut back 5% of their calorie intake and if they are losing continue with the 5%. If they are not losing cut back another 5%. They also say to weigh them once a week while trying to loose and once a month while maintaining weight. |
