So true! My vet, who is also my sister, tells so many people to have their dogs and cats lose weight. It's really simple. Measure what you are feeding now. Reduce it by, say 3%. By measure or by weight. Weigh in 2 weeks. If no change, reduce it by another little percentage. Etc. People always tell her "I don't feed him much." Well, however much it is, it's too much. Start by reducing it by 3%.
At her clinic, there is an extra charge for surgery on obese dogs, because it is so much harder. They can't find the organs in all the fat.
“They can’t find the organs in all that fat”.
My organs disappeared completely a long time ago. LOL!!
