| Overweight dog? Our older dog is sneaking to finish off our new puppy's kibble which is high in fat and calories. She's getting biogger everytime she does this. What could we do to get her slimmed down to her original weight? |

| It's tricky isn't it. I have this problem with my overweight cat eating the puppy's food. I suggest you feed them apart-hard if you are free feeding the puppy. Perhaps you could feed the pup in the puppy pen or crate-what ever you are using. Is your older dog getting enough exercise? Perhaps you or a family member could walk her on her own each day so she gets a decent run and some 1-1 time.Or play fetch. I'd imagine she would do a bit of playing with the pup.It all helps. I can't take the cat on long walks! :-(
