Hi! We've noticed that Maggie has started putting on weight despite the usual two meals she is being given. She weighs 31.5 kg after having food and roughly 29.5 kg before having first meal. Is it advisable to decrease her weight? If yes, how can we help her reduce her weight?

Hi, to understand better you need to check your pet's body condition score or get it checked by your vet. Mild variation before and after eating meals, or after the pet has passed stools can be ignored. But if there is a constant increase and if the bodyweight is more than what it should be based on your pet's height a weight management diet can be started. Reduce carbs to cut down on the calorie intake, reduce treats and give enough exercise. If you need more details you can take a nutrition consultation.

Sharing Boujees diet 🐾 Boujee has always been eating home cooked meals & we haven’t ever appreciated to feed him any sort of packed food may it be his treats I make his treats at home too. Packed food isn’t safe for dogs the same way it’s not safe for us :) It doesn’t take much of your time to prepare a good satisfying meal for your pet. These days you also have people making home cooked food and delivering it in packages. But a fresh home cooked food is something your pet would enjoy too. I keep his diet simple: 1. 3 eggs per day 2. 1 vegetable of his choice ( prefers carrots) 3. 250g of chicken ( 2 times ) 4. Carrots, pimpkins, cabbage, broccoli, sweet potatoes, beetroot, cucumbers 5. Curd / chicken broth / butter milk 6. I add golden paste to his food sometimes 7. Coconut oil is mandatory ( quantity varies from the size of your pet) 8. Add coriander leaves with their every meal, for digestion. Tomatoes aren’t toxic, but can be given in moderation ( 2-3 slices) Some dogs don’t like it.
