I would think that if you feed him the recommended amount of food per day and exercise him he will lose weight. If the owner questions you can truthfully say that you did feed as the two of you agreed and that you did cut out some of his treats because you were concerned about his breathing. I would contact her if I could but if you cannot I don't see way an owner would be upset to see a happier and healthier dog upon return. Explaining your concern for his breathing is necessary in order for her to help her little dog which I am sure she must care a great deal about. The manner in which you approach her is really important. You seem to be concerned about her feelings so I assume you can speak to her in a heartfelt way that she can perceive your concern for her fur baby and that is what is really is important. |
