She has kept him on the amount he is being fed as he is losing weight and isn't hungry for more food. If anything, he has has more energy and isn't as grumpy as he usually was. |
Thank you for updating, I'm so glad he's doing well. Two pounds is great for a small dog to lose in the first month. I'm glad you found an amount where he can lose weight and still feel good. It’s true, excess weight can zap us of our energy and then that in turn makes us gain more weight.
