[rawfeeding] Dog Dieting

I left a nicely shaped 22 lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with my husband
for seven weeks. Had divided each days food for that dog and my sheltie so it
was just take out the bag, thaw and feed. Easy. But when I came home my lovely,
lively 22 lb is a pudgy dragging 31 pounds. Seems he had been eating all of
his and a good portion of the sheltie's food. Velvet (sheltie) is a slow eater.

So now I'm trying to get his weight back down. How low can you go and still
have them healthy? I'm feedling 5-6 oz right now. Can I go lower? Is this
enough? Thanks for your help.

I came home with another rescue. A 6-year-old 4.3lb chihuahua. She began on
raw the first day she came to me and by the time we came home to the other dogs
she was eating chicken, beef, pork and has had her bites of liver and heart.
So funny to see this tiny little thing tearing into her food.

Thanks for all the help I got as I began with raw about five months ago. This
list has been both encouraging and enlightening. ~Pat
