Speaking of then and now-Audrey used to be FAT!

I was just looking through old pictures and I can NOT believe how overweight she used to be!  I remember the ER vet told us she was grossly overweight, and we thought she was exagerating, but looking back at pictures WOW was she right!

Look at that non-existant waistline!

after she slimmed down:

before-

at a better weight for her-

Raw diet

She was having so many issues with processed dog food, we switched her to a raw diet.

It was a dramatic improvement! No more vomiting, itching, face smelling like Smart Food cheddar popcorn, and no more ear infections.

We just watched her waistline carfeully until she was at the weight that looked good on her, then fed her just enough to keep her there. For her that means she gets about 2% of her body weight each day, broken up into 2 meals. She weighs leass now at 3 years old then she did when she was 6 months old. (that was when the ER vet said she was WAAYY overweight)

She moves much better now-she's fast and very energetic. I keep her on the slender side also to reduce joint and knee stress.

If it works, here is a video of her playing soccer. We really noticed a difference in how she plays when she's not so heavy.
