We all know I'm paranoid about Daphne's weight. Yesterday we took her to the pet store with us when we went for food. We don't take her with us because she's so heavy to lift into the back of the SUV. Anyway, when we walked in, the co-owner came rushing over to see her. Turns out her daughter has an EBD. She said, "Wow she's really fat!" I immediately became defensive.
We buy all of our food from these people. We feed Zignature. Daphne doesn't get snacks. We've cut her food to 1 cup Morning, 1 cup evening. With evening meal she gets 2 Tablespoons homemade stew of mixed veggies. She seldom gets a treat. If she does, it's freeze dried liver.
I don't know what to do anymore. She gets two walks a day. She is 10 months old and very healthy. She weighs 42 lbs this month. She is built like a cinder block, as square as she is long. She measures 18" from bottom of neck to top of tail. She is 29" around her girth measurement around back of front legs.
I do my best to give Daphne the best of everything she needs. I've never had a fat dog...never. Until Daphne arrived, my dogs were self-feed high quality kibble. The vet always comment on how they maintained their weight even though self-feeds.
What am I doing wrong? I just don't get it.

Daphne DuMaurier;706004. We've cut her food to 1 cup Morning said:Again, NOTHING is wrong with our Daphne. She's absolutely beautiful! Have a question though. I went to look at Zignture turkey. Not sure which one you feed her but it says, 40lb dog is 1 1/3 to 1 3/5 per day. I personally DO NOT find her fat whatsoever. She's still a pup. Some pups are more round than others. And thats for any breed! If it bothers you so much and NONE of us in here thinks she's fat but you, give her one cup of zignature and the other portion, raw or Honest kitchen or Spot Farms turkey. Give her frozen berries as a snack. Dont deprive her of snacks. Daphne is very active from what ive read in a lot of your post. Bring her to a dog park n let her run aside from her walks. She is so not fat. My GS was 115lbs build like wall. People would often say he's over weight for a GS but you know, he still could jump over 6ft walls, run like hell and healthy like a horse at 8yrs old. Some dogs are made more square than others. Dont mean they are fat or unfit. So as a member to another, stop panicking... your baby if beautiful and she's all yours to love!!! Oh and no other bullies in here have them sexy lips as my Daphne!!!!
At 10 months old, who cares?! Co-owner is either just a rude person or simply let one slip(a rude comment that is). Daphne is beautiful. Weight can become an issue later in life but for now, worry not. Taking weight off will be easy whenever YOU decide it's necessary. If you want our help we will provide it.
BTW, lizards are not fattening...
