She quickly learned how fun it is to feed the doggies, and they quickly learned how to gently take food that she offered so as not to scare her. They were getting so much that they weren't finishing their dog food, and they put on weight. So we cut their food way back, and they're now normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-overweight#post-401735 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 00:09:06 +0000 DigAPony 401735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my cats is a big fattie--he weighs 20 pounds. I cut down on their food and he hasn't lost any weight...not sure what to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-overweight#post-401678 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 23:16:03 +0000 spaniellove 401678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was mortified at my dog's last vet visit when I was told she was 15 lbs, up from her usual 14 lbs, and that she needed to lose that pound because she wasn't fat yet but it would be a problem if she couldn't lose the weight. When we got home I checked her food and realized that last time I switched brands I didn't adjust the amount and had been overfeeding her. Her trim waistline is back now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-overweight#post-401598 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 22:30:34 +0000 Meridian 401598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our greyhound is overweight for her breed... she looks slim (relative to other dogs), but she's overweight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-overweight#post-401512 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 22:05:43 +0000 JerricaBenton 401512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pup is very lean - we always call him a little racehorse. I can't really take too much credit because he has the fastest metabolism ever - we have to feed him 4 meals a day because he throws up if he goes to long without eating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-overweight#post-401475 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:49:21 +0000 yoursilverlining 401475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cat is chubby :/ my DH feeds her way too many treats. She is on special chubby-cat food, which she doesn't like. She begs like a dog and also steals food off of plates given the chance. </p> <p>She stole an entire steak off my plate once and ran down the stairs with it! so naughty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-overweight#post-401474 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:49:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 401474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: haha.

He is so so fat. He has moobs and everything. When he sits on the floor his gut touches the ground. They keep him shaved like a lion, so it's not a pretty sight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-overweight#post-401294 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:01:52 +0000 littlek 401294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pug was overweight so we put her on a veggie and bean diet. She is very trim now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-overweight#post-401277 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:59:25 +0000 fairefaire 401277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last time we took our cat to the vet, we were told in all seriousness that she needed to lose 2 ounces. TWO OUNCES. </p> <p>Poor little kitty, being badgered over 2 ounces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-overweight#post-401214 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:49:08 +0000 chopsuey 401214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe. My pom's parents were 3lbs and 5lbs. He was supposed to be little too.<br /> He weighs 12 lbs and is a good sized pooch. Not overweight by a lot.
