Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 My daughter had a dog(passed away last year) that would only eat when hungry. My daughter would leave dry dog food in her bowl on the floor and she never over ate or got fat. Wish I could do that! Sandy It is the simplest thing in the world to keep a dog from becoming overweight. You just feed him less. The only thing my dog gets to eat is what I scoop out into his dish twice a day. He can't open the pantry door, or fix himself something from the fridge, so if he's wanting more, too bad. I wish it were that simple for people. But then I hear people say, " but he's hungry! " . Of course he's hungry. Dogs and cats and all other animals are programmed to eat whatever they can get, whenever they can get it, because who knows when their next meal might come. It might be days. Well, I guess people are too...... But we've so arranged our lives that those meals are always there. Tilley > > Just saw an article for PET weight loss. It is a program from Craig. OMG I guess some pets are really overweight and their owners need some help. Sandy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tilley, I think animals are like babies; they eat what they want from what's placed in front of them and no more. That's been the case with both our dog and cat. We fill their dishes and they almost always walk away with leftovers. I wish to learn from them, to stop when I'm satisfied.
