Maybe certain elements in her diet stimulate her appetite or cause to gain weight. <br />Even though it may be a quality veterinary diet it might not be the right one for her.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-27764230162270113782015-01-22T02:25:46.374+01:002015-01-22T02:25:46.374+01:00I always start my day with you blog ...

Thank You !!<br />About 3 years ago we put Yogi on very good $$ diet food from the vet ... we find it keeps his weight down. (BUT this does not stop us from giving him far too many treats!!) But ... he's doing very well for 11 years old.

Her diet was adjusted, then adjusted again, accordingly. What we were not prepared for was her transformation into a manic eat everything and anything girl. Acorns, grass, the leaves on the bay tree - all are hoovered up as though they're the daintiest of delicacies. Then of course there is the issue of recycling. Thankfully, she has a brother to hare around the garden at high speed all day and keep her relatively trim.Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905037014736070475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-85203994543519047332015-01-21T14:18:42.713+01:002015-01-21T14:18:42.713+01:00What a brilliant idea to plant bulbs in Sophie'...What a brilliant idea to plant bulbs in Sophie's excavations - then she and Bob will be able to dig them up again later! Surprising that Sophie has retained her rotund shape with all the rushing around and savaging she does. Oh dear, perhaps a diet is on the cards?<br />We have had to diet our female Lab. and it was not only hard work, but we felt so guilty denying treats and restricting her food. She would give us a look that said we were cruel and starving her. We had to slip biscuits to our svelte Spaniel/Retriever X boy dog when she wasn't looking! Both of them have had "the op." so it must be a question of genes.Duke and Petite-Chose at 2Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-74636514336555803772015-01-21T13:55:39.153+01:002015-01-21T13:55:39.153+01:00There seems to be a consensus of opinion that spay...There seems to be a consensus of opinion that spaying/neutering<br />does slow down a dog's metabolism, so Sophie can blame it on<br />the hormones (or lack thereof). Apparently, we owners are expected<br />to watch their diets for them and make sure their intake is restricted.<br />Lots of luck! I think Bob escaped the knife so he's apt to stay slim.<br />Lots of info on the web. We're the owners of a rather chubby female,<br />by the way. One with a voracious appetite. Constant struggle.
