feeding guidance needed

• feeding guidance needed jprinz99 Posted : 4/20/2006 10:58:43 AM As some of you know I am laid up with a broken leg. Tyler normally gets about 2 cups kibble AM and again at supper, about 6 or so treats a day. I tried to cut back a little since he was getting no good exercise/run time. He is putting a bit of weight (I have been inactive 2 1/2 months so far) Question: How far should I cut him back without causing a problem, while avoiding any more weight gain? I have him down to @1cup AM and 2cups in PM for the past 3 weeks, but no real difference evident (too soon to notice?)

• loveukaykay Posted : 4/20/2006 12:24:43 PM I would do one cup in the AM and one cup in the PM.  What kind of food is it?  If you prefer to give him three cup instead of two I would do the 2 cups in the AM and only 1in the PM, because its like people who eat at night... its better to give him the bigger meal earlier if your going for weight loss.  Also maybe cut back on the treats depending on their fat content, some have a lot.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mudpuppy Posted : 4/20/2006 12:47:41 PM wouldn't it be better to figure out some way to exercise the dog? throw balls for him to fetch? drive to the dog park and sit there while your dog runs? hire a dog-walker? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
