Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 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 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.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Our previous dogs and our current male dog would do that - feed themselves when they were hungry and ignore the food the rest of the time. Then we got a female that is so food crazy I swear she would eat until she burst! Plus if we didn't pick up the male's food the female would clean his dish out the minute he walked away and we weren't watching her. So I guess its individual for animals like it is for people? One real interesting thing happened when our dogs dug out of our fence and were gone in the woods for 3 days. They were so skinny when we found them and of course they ate like pigs for the next few days. The weird part is that the male would just not overfeed himself - before - and since then has been a little more likely to eat extra. Gotta wonder if the 'diet' (starve) trigger got to him too ;-) Katcha > > > > > > Just saw an article for PET weight loss. It is a program from > > Craig.
