Moki was turning into a porker so I tried a diet...which did nt thrill him. So we decided to feed them 3 times a day (all the dogs), in smaller portions. The weight dropped off all of them They get a cup of dried food in the morning...with Moki getting about half a cup. I give them a marshmellow as a snack a few hours later. Maybe a piece of american cheese. At 2pm, they get another cup, a few hours later another piece of cheese (one slice, cut in three strips). At 8pm, the last meal. No more snacks until Gracie needs her pill...which I stuff in a marshmello. Moki weighed 40 lbs when I started this. He now weighs about 32 lbs. Gracie and Karma dropped from 80 lbs each to 65 and 68. They don't go hungry, yet have good weight now. Poor karma is showing signs of hip displacia . Gracie has not had a seizure since last october, thank God. Moki is his normal grumpy self.

btw..moki is a rat terrier. He was nt supposed to get over 20 lbs. He's a sturdy little bugger.
