When my female began to look pregnant, I knew that the problem was ME!!! For the first week, I gave her about 10% less in her bowl than I had been feeding her. With week 2, I cut her back by a total of 20%. Then I limited the number of treats that she was given daily!!! I kept an eye on her & she didn’t seem to be going hungry, so I continued with the 20% reduction & watched as her school girl figure returned. Since then, I’ve continued to keep her at the 20% reduction & she is still maintaining her slimmer look without becoming skinny!!!
You probably don’t need to change the homemade food that you’re currently making her…maybe just reduce the amount you’re feeding her each day. Just don’t make it a drastic cutback. Dogs, much like humans, will gain weight when they’re eating too much; so, a food reduction in is in order!!!
