What is the best dog food for an overweight dog?
My dachshund is overweight, and everytime I take her to the vet, I have to hear how overweight dachshund are prone to back problems and I get depressed. I know I have to help her with her weight problem-but here's my dilemma. I want her to enjoy her food too, if she doesn't-she sneaks cat food. Right now I'm feeding her Nutro-Natural choice for Overweight dogs. She loves it. But she doesn't really seem to loose weight with it, but doesn't gain either. But when my vet had me put her on the low-cal Science Diet she actually gained weight because she would sneak any food she found anywhere, because she hated it. Help! I want my pooch to be happy and healthy.
Answer:
I can suggest a Eukanuba lite, all natural dog food. Watch the recommended amounts for the normal size of your pet. Now, here is the best advice: EXERCISE HER! Honestly, that is the best way to reduce her weight. A couple of walks a day, along with a lite dogfood, and voila, a healthy, happy pet. Don't give in to her not eating. My vet says that dogs will pull that number, but after 3 days, they WILL eat. So, if she turns her nose up to the food, please don't give her something because she looks so cute and is starving. She is playing a game that she knows she will win! But, if she doesn't lose weight and get healthy, both of you lose. Be strong. For her and to keep her for a long, long time. Aah, them little rascals!
