My Gracie is a little Yorke and she never had a bit of fat on her during her first year and a half. Last winter we did not walk as much and she put on some excess fat. I have more than doubled how far and how often we walk since the weather got warmer and the weight is dropping off quickly.
Make sure you dog gets no human snacks. Little dogs can put on weight from the slightest increase of calories. Healthy snacks of meat or vegetables that are good for dogs are OK as long as it is not over done. If your dog is really a small framed dog and has that much excess fat on her then you are looking at a big issue. There is something not right. |
