I am Chipper and I am on a diet. cry

In November my mommy reached out to the Dogster community because I had gained a whole pound in three weeks! shock I went from 43.4 lbs to 44.4 lbs in less than a month. My vet gave mom a hard time and said that I need to lose weight. That's tough for a pup lke me who LOVES to eat!! She wants mom to get me to 38 lbs and then she will reevaluate me. I may need to get down to 35 lbs. It's tough to say when you are mutt an no one knows what you should weigh.

Mom put me on a strict diet and switched me to grain free Reduced Fat Wellness CORE. My current diet is:

1/3 cup of CORE for breakfast
1 Wellness Wellbar when mom goes to work
1/3 cup of CORE for dinner
1 more Wellbar after dinner
3 6" bully sticks randomly during the week.

So far I have lost 2.3 lbs! cheer Only 4 lbs left! dancing

Hello. I am Precious and I weigh 55 lbs. I am a basset hound and my vet says I need to lose at least 7 lbs. Mommy has put me on a strict diet and excercise plan. So far I have lost a little over a pound. I have been at it for 2 wks. I am very excited about losing this weight and sometimes go into a basset "power" waddle when I get really motivated on our walks.

Hi everyone!

I'm Gunner (Hi Gunner!).. and I have a weight loss problem.. laugh out loud

Anyway, I currently weigh 10lbs. My vet said he would like it if I was a more svelt 9 pounder. I used to weight 12 pounds so I'm halfway done with the battle!

I am currently a raw fed dog. My daily diet looks something like this..
2 oz of muscle meat
1/2 ounce of organ blend
1 egg
1 treat before bedtime.

I am also going for 20-30 minute walks twice a day and dog park fun for about an hour or two. I get to run, run, run at the dog park! I love it. smile

I am Zoey and I am a fat dog, there I said it. (sigh) I need to lose at least 10 lbs, probably more. My vet said two things, I NEED to lose weight, and she isn't sure I CAN lose weight, due to all my meds.
I eat several meals thruout the day.
1/2 cup prescription food, bowl full of veggies four times a day
usually means two cans of no salt veggies a day
wet food with meds am/pm
half treat bits for housebreaking/pee pads
Lots of walks/exercise
I had lost 5 lbs, then gained 2 back and now am losing again.

Got food?

wave Hi, my name is Toby and I am a beagle and foodaholic. I weighed 45 pounds when I first came to my furever home, the foster Mom I had loved me with food. She was feeding me 2 cups of kibble a day, not sure what kind, and lotsa treats. Being a beagle I loved the fact that she loved me by giving me food, but I get lotsa attention here not lotsa food. I lost 7 pounds the first year I was here and then we had a pet sitter last March that was exactly like my foster Mom! It was great! I ate almost a 2 pound bag of peanut butter bones all by myself!! Now its back to what I call my die with a t.

I now get

1/2 cup Wellness Core reduced fat kibble and 2 Tbsp of plain yogurt for breakfast

1 lowfat dogwell chicken strip when Mom gets home from work around 1

1/2 cup of Wellness Core reduced fat for dinner sometimes with raw carrots or frozen green beans

1 extra small Old Mother Hubbard peanut butter treat at bedtime

I think I have lost about a pound or 2 eating this way, I am starting to have a waistline again!
