Lou I too support individual and set times for feeding. No more free feeding. Now in this hot hot weather Cassie who tires easily on the walk, get a kiddie pool and play with her in it. If she chases balls you two can have a blast with some water toys. Even if you spend 10 minutes walking her back and forth in the kiddie pool, it increases calories burnt by anywhere from 10-30% dependent on speed of walk and how far up the water comes on her. Most resistance is to put water to a depth that is an inch or two below chest height

Water work is also great for the dog with a leg problem.

I've had to have my cat lose weight recently, everyone was feeding him!. So now only me. That has helped immensely. I measure the food, and his food is free fed, sits ontop of our freezer.
