When our elderly dog (15 1/2) passed away last Feb. I took a good look at the other 5 and realized that the only one that wasnt overweight was the baby. I began feeding just a little less each day and now everyone weighs what they should. There are 3 senior dogs,2 of which dont move very much unless they are chasing me in the house because I am holding a treat. But that is what we do for exercise,I wave very tiny treats and walk in circles from room to room and they chase. I just worked at it slowly with them and it took from Feb to May to get everyones weight where it belongs. Now we work at keeping it there. They all know that when the news comes on at night,it is time to run. |
