Not sure how to say what I mean so bare w/me. When you say food processor, your talking about the machine that chops/mesh food? What I been doing is 1/2 amount of wellness can food as my yorkie only has a limited amount of teeth & swallows hard food whole. I'll steam carrots, broccoli, beans, boil eggs or scramble, baked chicken. With each meal I'll add one of the above vegs after I mesh them w/fork. Add one serving of chicken to her canned food. Between the canned food, vegs & chicken it makes a total of approx 1/2 c food. She gets this twice a day. Was feeding her 3x a day. I've since cut back to 2x. I think she would eat & eat until she popped. Really! Read somewhere here that carrots has alot of sugar so I'm going to cut that out of her diet & add more green beans. Sometimes I'll add a little all natural applesauce. Does that sound like she'll lose some weight w/that agenda? Thanks again. |
Hi Hun, I know this was posted a while ago but I have a story that I hope helps. Last year we rescued a 2 year old Golden Ret. we names Maui. He was so smart and sweet and calm but he was HUGE! He had issues walking too long, sitting too long and forget extended playing. He weighed around 90 pounds at the time. The vet told me to feed him the recommended food for 75-80 lbs dog for any food. We kept him on pedigree which he had been eating and reduced his content to that recommended weight on the label. We walked him twice a day for as long as he would go and then increased his walking once his stamina picked up. Anyway, no real results on the weight loss. Took him back to the vet a few months later and he had lost a whopping 4 pounds. I was disheartened. I had gradually changed him to iams but didn't want to give him a diet food. Well after that 4 lbs reality check I switched him over to Purina fit and trim. He loves the food, even if the content is not the best out there. We did everything the same and feed him 3 cups a day. We noticed him playing harder and longer and his walks were not so hard on him.....his recovery time was shorter as he would be done for the entire day after a walk, lol. We took him in recently, almost a year after getting him and he was down to 74 lbs!!! I knew he was thinner but WOW. The best thing I can tell you is to stick with it and don't give up on him. It takes time for the weight to come off but be persistent and you will see the results! Good luck. |
I did this video, to show a friend, that didn't believe me, that they love the treadmill. I am coaxing them with Cheerio's! I recommend, make sure that the scoop you use, is a true measure. For several years, I fattened up my lab, thinking that the scoop I was using was a cup, but it was closer to 2!:eek: |
