I will say Harley is not as bad as the Lab pictured, but he's 3 pounds over his ideal weight of 10 pounds. (that's alot for a little dog, IMO) I've got a little container of low-cal treats, too, for hubby to give him. And he does give them when I'm home, rather than listen to me. Harley can be trained not to beg, because he doesn't beg from me, just from dh.
Wow...that poor puppy!! I made up my mind when I got Bayley that I wouldn't let her get fat. My first dog a lab/spaniel cross was chunky especially when she got older and I know it affected her health. So, with Bayley I'm not allowing myself to let her get that way!! She gets her raw twice a day, a small marrow bone once a week, which lasts her a couple of days and a couple of northern biscuits at bedtime. She very rarely gets any people 'junk food' I will give her the odd leftover veggies, like carrots. I'd say she's in very good shape.

I'm with you, Patty. Working for a vet I saw waaay too many fat animals (largest being a 30 lb cat and a 135lb female Lab :shocked: )and I swore my Lab wasn't going down that road.
Feeding raw makes it a whole lot easier.
Having an atypical Lab with an eating disorder doesn't hurt either :wink:
All my cats are in pretty good shape too, they eat Wellness kibble, free fed. My British Shorthair is a bit chunky, but nowhere near fat, but then his breed tends to be on the chunky side. They're all mature cats 5-7 and still have lots of energy for playing and running around. I can't imagine having a 30 lb cat! It's just not fair to the animal.
