Chip started getting pudgy so I switched to the adult dog food and that has helped. He is real active with Maybelle running and racing but I give him alot of extra treats when we are practicing obedience so I have to be real careful too.It is so hard once they put on that extra weight. I struggled with Dig's weight for years. He had hypothroid and went to 25 lbs when he should have been 16 - 18 lbs. I got him back down to 18 and then when he was diagnosed, I let him eat what he wanted - I even took him for ice cream several times. It was his favorite thing to do. The vet told me that 1 lb for a dog Dig's size was like 20 for a human
