Any Q

To lose weight, a green bean diet can help — cut back on the kibble by ¼ or ½ a cup and add a cup of no-salt-added green beans (even frozen beans are great) or cooked sweet potatoes/pumpkin to help your dog feel full. Omit the processed treats from your pet's diet and use praise, attention and veggies as rewards.


How much should I feed my overweight golden retriever?

Since Golden Retrievers gain weight easily, it is best that you reduce the food portions. One cup of food per 35 lbs. is a general rule of thumb. If your dog's ideal weight is 70 pounds, feed the Golden 2 cups each day. Also consider eliminating daily treats until you get the dog's weight under control.

What should I feed my dog if she's overweight?

If your dog is prone to begging and you're prone to giving in to those puppy dog eyes, opt for a high-protein diet with a blend of fibers to help manage your dog's appetite and reduce their voluntary food intake. That way you can feed your dog knowing he will feel fuller and stay satisfied longer.

What is the fastest way for a dog to lose weight?

One simple solution to jump-start your dog's weight loss is to feed your dog his normal food in the morning but replacing his second meal with mostly green beans (low sodium), a bit of kibble, and a doggie multi-vitamin in the evening. Switching your dog's treats to healthier options will help him lose weight, too.
