weight loss dog food
Dry dog food that helps promote weight loss?
My German Shepherd just had to have spinal cord surgery because a disk ruptured in his back.
I want to help prolong his life, which would mean he needs to lose weight.
He’s 138, and I want him down to at least 120.
What brand of food would work best?
Thanks
The lower the protein level in the dog food, the lower the calories in it.
I have my 2 older girls on Diamond Naturals Lite. It only have 18% protein. Normal foods are higher in protein. Check you dog food bag. Also look to see the ingredients in it. A good dog food starts with meat, not corn. Corn is a cheap filler.

Forget blame and guilt. It is important for you to make sure that you don’t blame anyone either yourself
or your parents. Feeling guilty about your appearance is a negative feeling that won’t help.
Take the long term approach. Look at what you are about to undertake not as a short term, quick, weight loss, but rather a change in lifestyle to last a lifetime. You will begin to make more nutritious food choices, add exercise, and cut back somewhat on your eating. If you falter along the way, you don’t need to look at it as a failure.
Add daily exercise in your daily routing. Exercising actually makes you feel more energetic once you have made a habit of it. If you don’t feel like you have energy to exercise now, start out with some physical activity that will get you moving, but won’t require a lot of energy. How about taking the dog for a walk? Or, if you don’t have a dog, take the neighbor’s dog for a walk. Once you have done some walking, every day for a couple of weeks, try running for a short distance. Get out on your bicycle, or roller blades, or shoot some baskets in the driveway.
Have a serious talk with your parents and ask them to help. They should be able to help you find materials on nutritious eating, and can help purchase the foods that will help, such as fresh fruits for snacks and whole grain cereals for breakfast. And they can avoid purchasing foods that will tempt you with poor choices, such as sodas, chips, candy, donuts or cookies.
Find your motivation from within. Weight loss won’t happen unless the desire comes from inside you.
