Sure some of you know we had to put Kayla and Lexi on a diet. Kayla has possible CT (x-rays being done Sat.) and the vet put them on OM. After all the scare with Xylitol, I decided to look up the ingredents in OM. I know the food did not contain Xylitol but was just curious what was in it. I know prescription diets are not very good and they are on Welliness now which is a 5 star food. I almost fainted at the junk in the OM. Would I be wrong to go ahead and feed them their Welliness and cut back some and add more vegetables maybe to it. I don't want my babies eating peanut hulls etc. We have got to get their weight down but I don't see feeding them this crap to do it. What do you think? Lexi has alot of weight to lose and Kayla needs to lose at least 4 to 5lbs. Worried about them and don't want to do anything wrong.
