I can't remember if I had mentioned before but I had taken my dogs off of crunchy food and put them on soft Little Champions. They both have bad teeth and I thought the soft food would be better for them. Well after they switched to it (and it was a monster success, they have gotten into the trash a few times for the wrappers) I noticed that their coats have gotten shinier and it also seems to have helped with Ricky's weight loss.
We have recently run out of their Little Champions and have to wait until pay day (Tuesday) to stock up again. Anyways, switching back to crunchy food has been a little difficult rationing it correctly. Ricky and I did a weigh in a few minutes ago annnnd.....
Starting weight: 23 lbs.
Previous weight: 18.5 lbs.
Current weight: 18 lbs even.
So he has only lost a half pound this week. Which, honestly is not that bad. I am hoping to get him down to 12 or even 10 lbs by May. I hope to be able to maintain this weight as well. He does kind of make me nervous, though, I am not sure if it is because of old age or maybe his weight loss but the sides of his face are a bit more noticeably bony.
Well we are going to keep trying get Ricky to a reasonable weight and then we can work on maintaining a healthy doggy diet if the weight hits a plateau. Hopefully Thunder will be able to cut some weight as well.
