Lucy is a little chunky butt, too

She's lost a little weight now, after I discovered that she LOVES green beans and slivers of carrot.

I try to give her those as treats.

I have a couple over weight to, I was looking for low cal food and ran across some for inside dogs but it was not quality food

I have cut back on treats and been trying to excersise them more, dont know what else to do, I also free feed, always have, maybe i should start a schedule

It dont seem like they are always grazing though, They like to eat at night also, thats probably not the best thing either

Aren't green beans amazing? Who knew!

I was wondering---when you talk about treats, do you give the treat the size it is or do you cut it up? There are very few treats that I leave the size they are. Cut/break them into tiny pieces. Would that make a difference?
