My dog is 13lbs. and she needs to be around 10 - 9lbs. We are walking everyday twice a day but it is time to change her dog food. Right now she is getting 1/4 cup 2x's a day of Flint River dog food ( www.flintriver.com ) which is a high calorie very healthy food. It is is great for our other dogs who hardly eat anything at all but my dog is always hungry.
What is a healthy low calorie dog food that really works?

I work at a vet clinic and I've asked several clients which food they have their dog on to lose weight. They all said iams weightloss...
I haven't had any personal experience with that but I thought I'd let ya know.

We put our dogs on a diet and used IAMS weight control. It posts on the back of the bag how much you should give your dog in comparison to their weight. It worked very well and now all our dog's are a healthy weight, although the main problem for us was that they were not having a controlled feeding and were eating as much as they what.
Make sure on all dog food's that you make sure meat is the first ingredient listed. It it is not don't buy it. It is junk, no matter how amazing your friend or the bag says it is.
Good luck!

That's a great food.So all your dog eats is 1/2 a day? Wow if you can just increase her walks it should get rid of the fat.Teach her to retrieve a small ball so even at home she is getting exercise.Her age might also play a part in her weight.Also try a nyla bone to give her some mucn time with no calories to worry about.Tilks Mom
