Hi there!
Ellie came to us yesterday morning, and weighs in at a very aweful 87 pounds. We brought her straight to the vet to find out what she needs and how we can help her lose the weight. So now, the poor thing has been uprooted from her home into a new one and put on a diet. She's not eating. Any suggestions how to get her to start eating her diet food? Can't be that tasty, I imagine, but I'm afraid to mix anything with it because she seriously needs to lose weight. I've read about Frozen green beans, which I will try... maybe she'll like them. I'm going to talk to my vet about possibly wetting her food with a little bit of fat free low sodium chicken broth..
She had been eating Pedigree adult dry food with wet food mixed in.. I'm sure much more apealing that what we need to feed her, but so not going to help her in the long run. And also, I suspect many many treats and table foods.
Any thoughts to help the poor girl out?
