any other food recommendations to help him cut back? Obviously we are willing to buy him the best
Thank you team!!! | I figured one of my girls was a bit chunky and her annual physical confirmed it a few years ago. So, I ended up switching her over to wet food -- Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ Turkey & Barley Entrée, to be exact. And her weight (their weight) has been pretty constant since.
At her heaviest, she was 13.7 lbs, at her most recent exam, which was last week, she was at 9.1 lbs. They both eat 3/4 of a can a day -- the second yorkie is a bit smaller than my older girl -- but I occasionally give them a bit more. |
