[quote=Anonymous]Does he want advice? He sounds stubborn. He may need to come to the realization on his own that he’s eating too much. Here’s what our vet told me when my dog was too fat. Weigh her current food portion. Then decrease it by 10%. If she doesn’t lose weight, decrease it by 10% again. She lost weight easily when we went from 2 cups a day to just under 2 cups a day. At one point she was even underweight and we had to go up a bit. It was really eye opening to see that it doesn’t take a huge calorie deficit or surplus to lose or gain…but it does take some math. My dog did not need a trainer. Previously, though, I did joke she had a slow metabolism and thought she was just going to be fat. Nope. She just needed to eat a little bit less. I apply that lesson when I need to lose weight. Small but consistent calorie deficits over time do add up. [/quote]
