Fat dogs

I am not always a Victoria Stillwell fan but happened to have it on today and she said something so true I had to repeat it. "Your dog is fat because you overfeed it" So simple but hard to hear since our corgis are so good at playing the starving puppy!

Comment by Beth on October 15, 2010 at 12:10pm: Just wanted to add that I was doing some training with mine last night, and so they each only got 1/4 cup of kibble and some green beans for dinner! When we add treats, we reduce meal size. The exception is agility training; if Jack is running for an hour, I figure he could use the extra calories. Same with hiking.

Comment by Beth on October 15, 2010 at 10:33am: My cat is fat because I overfeed her! Haha. Actually she's not fat, but she is overweight. My last cat was free-fed and I'm struggling to find an appropriate ration for this one, who really enjoys eating just a little too much.

Comment by Cheryl Nickel on October 15, 2010 at 9:34am: She is so right! I do not buy into that "starving puppy" role playing, either. It's our responsibility as pet parents to keep our little ones as healthy & happy as possible.
