Do you worry about your pets weight?

Barry - maltesers and poodles obviously shouldn´t mix but I am glad your mother in laws poodle lived to tell the tale as it were

Both our 2 love any vegetables and Dyson being a foodie will even eat lettuce and tomatoes. The one thing they are both wary of is grapes....

One thing I forgot to write was when I first met my future wife her Mum had a poddle as I think poddles were the rage of dogs back in the 60´s but this dog once found a box of maltesers (or how you spell it) and this dog over night finished it off the whole box execpt three one half chewed one licked to death and one with teeth on it love them plus once she found grapes and even spit out the pips

i think monty is just a good weight .. he s a very picky eater .. (not like when he first came here .. he d eat any thing) he has a lick of any food i v got .. but his average of his own food is 3 pouches a day xxxx

non e of mine are obease .... one of my cats is porky tho hes put on loads of weight hafter being nutured ...
i must put the little piggie back on his diet lol

From my lads food etc we must adear to a very strong weight policy I have to each month weigh him and then send it down to HQ who monitor the weight issue, he has Purina plus salmon and rice dried food about 100grms morning and evening, he really enjoys it greatly mind you I do not like it when he leaps up at me to thank me and then burps in my face the biggest burp smelling fishy. I am so ashame to say on here that my daught dog a laisa she does not feed it correctly and I am always trying in a most round about way of saying look do this do that, but it falls on deaf ears. I wrote on here we give Guy broc-chesse-carrots and the odd time a bit of cut sasuage all diced up for doing treats people are amazed that he eats veg but he loves it greatly

Sounds like Ruby and Dyson are both doing well Ally, keep up the good work

We used to free feed Ruby and she would hardly eat anything but although she swam and ran loads daily she weighed an unhealthy 50 kilos whatever we did. When we got Dyson, we were told that he was fed the 10 second rule way so if he didn´t begin to eat within 10 seconds the food went away until next mealtime... not an issue for a foodie dog, but Ruby soon relaised that if she didn´t eat hers she would either lose it to Dyson (if we weren´t looking) or we´d take it off her so from then on she eats every meal immediately; she still runs and swims the same amount and has now lost 18 kilos in 7 months... obviously wasn´t kickstarting her metabolism before. We did try and watch her weight before but even the vet was puzzled. Now both dogs weigh a healthy 32 ish kilos and we intend to keep it that way
