Answer #1

We would need to know what food you are feeding her, Kind of dog food, NO more human food, and break her meals up to 2-3 small ones a day, HOW do you think your motabolisem would react if you only ate once a day, It would store up ALL the fat it could thinking this is going to be my last meal. Make one of her meals a can of green beans, this is a good treat for weight loss, NO Butter or salt, just grean beans out of a can, any YES more walks and excericise.

Answer #2

Wow..I would say that with age they start to slow down and then they probably start to gain weight due to the lower activity level. Do you walk puppy (all 3 of my dogs are 4 years old or older, and they’re still my puppies)? Maybe walking her/him several times a week (or every day if possible) would help with some weight loss. I would suggest you contact some of our dog “experts” we have on the site and they would be able to probably give you a better, more accurate answer. Try: harleyrider or magichalo Send them a funmail or add a comment on their profile. They’re both great! Very knowledgeable.
