Again, Connie's owner has proven to be much more than anyone who was contacted or involved in her and Connie's time of need.

The thing about prescription food for dieting is the calories - ie the lack of calories, so that a Corgi can feel satisfied after eatng a prescribed amount and still get all the benefits of a complete and balanced diet (which can be reduced in amount given if necessary) yet not put on the pounds a la calories.

Micheal I "GET" the diet food concept and what is required to drop weight off of obese corgis - been there done that, got the t-shirts many, many times over. I've even managed to get eight pounds off of a petite girl that also happens to be on prednisone for an autoimmune disorder. The vet was most impressed as pred increases appetite and makes getting weight off much more complicated. There isn't a bag of prescription "diet" food in my house, don't have the need for it and the chubby corgis ARE getting a complete and balanced diet according to AAFCO guidelines. However, if feeding R/D is a help to Connie's owner and the end result is Connie at a healthy weight, then that is the solution we are all hoping for.
