Guest tobinhr Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 A few months ago, some of you may recall, I "took over" my friend's obese golden retriever and elderly collie. I changed their diet and started them out on mini-walks. Well, two months later: Abbie, the retriever, has lost 13 lbs!! She actually has a waist now. I'm calling her J-Lo though, because she still has some junk in her trunk. She's raw-fed now and she gobbles her meals. Buddy, the collie, has gained 5 lbs and is now back to an optimum weight. I have him on a combination of cooked and kibble. Both of them have had their nails done and we are waiting on blood tests to see if Abbie is hypothyroid. Both of them can now walk around the lake--which is a little over a mile! Wheeee! I really need to make this a business.....send me your obese, your elderly, your smelly mutts longing to be free....
