Jane, I give Sophie green beans mixed in her food. I do buy the big bags of frozen beans. She won't eat them frozen. All dogs are different. I defrost them and cut them up a bit more and mix them in with her pathetic 1/3 C of Wellness. She looks great now!

Did you read the story of the 70 lb corgi. The lakeshore corgi rescue had her and they helped her lose her weight. I found the web site about the 70 lb corgi on The Daily Corgi, but I am sure you could just google her.

Jane, sounds like we're in the same boat! A few days ago I adopted an obese corgi (he's 42.2 pounds).Our weight loss plan is to I'm walk him everyday or at least every other day, and feed him 1/2 cup of Blue Buffalo twice a day. No table scraps, which isn't hard, because I didn't give my last dog scraps anyway. Treats will be very limited, but occasionally he gets a low-fat Nutro Natural Choice biscuit. I'm expecting to see results soon! He was getting LOTS of scraps in his last home!

<p>Jane, you certainly will be able to help Zip loose weight. It sounds like your dogs are very active, so he will be getting a lot of exercise. Sophie got up to 36.5 lbs last year and I spent all year getting six pounds off of her. At the first vet visit she weighed 34 lbs and he gave me diet advice which I took and she gained 2.5 pounds. Well, it was trial and error and finally I came up with the right formula. 1/3 C Kibble (she gets Wellness) twice a day mixed with about 1C cut up…</p>

Well, it was trial and error and finally I came up with the right formula. 1/3 C Kibble (she gets Wellness) twice a day mixed with about 1C cut up defrosted frozen green beans and big spoonful of canned pumpkin. The green beans and pumpkin really made the difference. That should get the pounds melting off of him! Good luck and he is lucky boy to have you want to bring him into your family and help him get in shape!</p> Thanks Cindi...gives me hope.…tag:mycorgi.com,2011-02-14:1150197:Comment:8954692011-02-14T14:34:14.983ZJane Christensenhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/JaneChristensen

Hi Jane. My max was a huge dog, We got his tested all the time and I think at the end the vet hated us. We tried everything for years. I don't know how to post pics but will when DH gets home to show you max wasn't always big. I know it shortened his life. The funny thing was he LOVED his walks and although he would sit and rest sometimes his walks made him so happy.

Our Moira was 48 lbs. when we rescued her. (You can read her story on my profile page if you're interested.) She'd walk three steps and fall over, breathing so ridiculously heavy you'd think she would stroke out. It was horrible! We put her on good food, giving her only 3/4 cup per day. No treats unless they were veggies. Walked her little legs off, too. It took about ten months to get the weight off. She now weighs 24 lbs. and we're very diligent to keep her that way.

She still has some issues with her back and legs because of the excess weight, but her personality came shining through when she started to lose weight. She's just awesome now at 9 years old and full of piss and vinegar!
