Some of you know I lost a lot of weight on a low carb way of eating. I'm thinking that would work for my lovely Dovey as well:
I think she fits the obese dog model:
Anyway I know this will be a more expensive way to feed her but I think it may be necesary for her health. Trouble will be that right now they all eat the same dry food..Purina Fit&Trim plus scraps and also some stuff I make for them usually rice with scraps. I've already stopped the rice with scraps as I know this is not good for her. Now the challenges will be to stop my husband from rewarding her with carbs and finding a nutritious diet she can eat that I can afford. I'll probably have to take up the food bowls which are down all the time for them and just feed once a day.
