| need advice on best weight loss food My 3 year girl has always been stout but she is getting a bigger belly. She always acts like she is starving and just inhales every kibble. We absolutely do not over feed her and never table scraps and very few treats. I do give her a few small bites of apple every morning. She has always has this weird cough which I fear may be the collapse trachea problem yorkies have. She does snore sometimes. other wise very active and no problems. we have never used any kind of collar with her. She is pad trained. I just feel as though knocking a pound or two off her would really help. She weighs about 7.5 lbs but has a small frame. thanks for any advice. |

| It sounds like she needs a vet check up to assess the cough and run blood work to see if there are any issues with why she might be hungry all the time. The vet can also confirm if she needs to lose weight and how much. Its better to cut back on the food and add in some green beans rather then completely switch to a different food.

You need to give Daisy the correct amount of food for her ideal body weight. She would then slowly lose until she reached her weight. Your vet should be able to tell you the exact amount of food. As for one eating the other's food, separate them!!
