MemberHi all – This website was super useful to me when I first got my chi/terrier rescue pup, Lola, nine years ago. I ended up trying a few high quality foods and Lola adapted to the raw diet well (we feed Nature’s variety raw – she gets one small patty in the morning and one at night. She would also get a small handful of dry food – wellness senior healthy weight – around lunch time. Up until now, she has been very healthy with no problems. Unfortunately, in the last few weeks, she began limping and holding up her back legs while sitting, and will yelp if we try to touch them. We took her to the vet yesterday who said she has arthritis and needs to lose weight to get pressure off of her joints. She’s 22 lbs at the moment. So we’re going to cut out the midday meal completely, but I was thinking that perhaps I should replace the evening raw patty with a small amount of dry food instead. The vet recommended Hill’s metabolic weight loss (Rx only) but I would love any other suggestions. Wellness core reduced fat seems to be popular – anything else people have used and like? Thanks so much!

MemberI have met many people that use whole earth farms weight loss food. It is pretty effective. You really donât need an expensive rx food for weight loss. Itâs all about watching calories. One of my coworkers buys the Royal Canin weight loss prescription diet. Guess what, he literally counts the pieces of kibble his dog gets in a day and the dog hasnât lost a pound in 2 years while on it. For some reason he still feed it. I guess his vet has him convinced itâs doing some good even though it isnât and heâs paying out the behind for a small bag of it every couple weeks.
Natures variety can be very fatty though. So watch for that. Itâs a good commercial raw to go with but Iâve seen it put weight on some dogs. How much does you vet want your dog to weigh? Do you feed any kind of treats? What type of exercise does she get? You may just have to cut back. According to nv website if youâre feeding the patties a 20 lbs dog should only be getting one patty a day. If youâre feeding two and some kibble youâre probably over feeding. If youâre feeding the medallions it would be around 8 medallions a day if you were feeding nothing but that so Iâm not sure where you could be going wrong if you feed the madallions b-
