Greetings to all, I am new to this forum and tried to find some information on this subject on the forum before I posted and was unable to.
I have a 6 yr old Chihuahua/Terrier mix, he eats Solid Gold Weee Bits right now, he weights about 14 lbs and we would like to get him down to about 12 lbs. We feed him less then 1 measuring cup of the food a day. I was wondering if perhaps I would be able to substitute some vegies or other healthy food besides dog food that might make his losing weight process easier. My vet had had him on Science Diet Light for 3 1/2 years!!!!!! and I was thankfully informed by a few different individuals about Science Diet and made the switch as soon as I found out away from it.
He has been eating Solid Gold for about 4 months now and his coat is the best its ever been, teeth the cleanest and has the most energy he has had in years, I would love to keep all these attributes and be able to feed him some vegies that help his health out weight wise. If I do feed him some vegies do I need to cut back on the amount of dog food I give him? What all vegies or food can I feed him?
Thanks so much
