Podge!
I didn't want to admit it, but Bug has gotten rather chubby this winter
I thought that she was looking a little round.. y'know, couldn't see any ribs.. but she got absolutely lagged in mud on our walk today so I stuck her in the bath and I could barely lift her Think somebody may need to go on a diet!
I wonder if it's age related also? We haven't done anything different this year, as opposed to previous, but she is middle aged now I suppose!

Re: Podge!
It could well be an age thing. Flo has put on a half to one kg I n the last few months but she is getting a few more treats so will be cutting back on those this year.

Re: Podge!
Nola gets much less to eat than she used to, less than Millie does and she's nearly double her size. So yes, probably an age thing.

Re: Podge!
Jasper barely eats a thing compared to millie and there's about 14 kg difference between them lol!, he's 10 he gets 100g twice a day and that's it barely any treats. hes a golden retriever he weighs 27kg I like to keep him trim
Re: Podge!
Ahhh, just had her weighed.... 20kg :O that's 2kg in 6 months, and that's with weight lost in the last few weeks too.. Definitely going to lower her food. Just seems like she's barely eating anything. My vet mentioned a "senior" or lower protein diet but I'm not sure she should be classed as a senior just yet.. She's still as active as ever.

Re: Podge!
might be worth it, my boy is on senior and he is active as ever to but it does help a lot to regulate his weight , sure she will lose it in no time x
