GONNALOSEWEIGHT 2 Posted September 20, 2009 Great job Chancie! I have two dogs, one I have been successful and having her lose 3lbs (she "could lose a little" per the vet) when we went back she had. I measure her food and play non-stop (so it seems) with her. Now my Pom/Chihauhua mix...having a tough time getting him to lose a pound. I measure his food and he only gets one treat a day. So I ended up cutting his food back a little more still nothing so it looks like doggie diet food for him. He weighs 13lbs and the vet wants him down to 11, once it cools off we will be taking walks more often. Congrats to you and your baby! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownInSocal 12 Posted September 22, 2009 I too noticed my dog was wadling when she walked. She is over 70 lbs so I couldn't pick her up to hold her and weigh her so I don't know how much she gained but I think about 5-8 lbs. She is on a diet now too and has lost at least 5 lbs I bet. Her tummy doesnt sway back and forth when she walks with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted September 22, 2009 I love that our dogs are getting healthier with us! I have two dogs, the lab is perfect weight. But, the doxie was about six pounds over weight. His belly almost dragged the ground when he walked. Now, when I go out for walks, they both go with me. I also put Winston on the weight management dog food and he has now lost three pounds.

Chancie 65 Posted September 24, 2009 It's hard for our dogs to lose weight too! I want my lucy with me for a long time! She's 5 and slowing down a bit, and noticing her having trouble I wanted to help. I have a little yorkie too- he's 2 and pretty active. Since she lost the wieght she's playing with him more too!! Glad to see others are helping their fur babies too!! :001_tt2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted September 24, 2009 Hmmm, maybe we should start a weight loss support site for doggies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kromrider 3 Posted September 24, 2009 My dog has benefited from all of my walking. He and I are up to 3 miles per day. He is great company! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted September 25, 2009 We were talking about this at work today and someone said "If your dog is fat, YOU'RE not getting enough exercise" :001_smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
