Puppy Fat

[Chip's Mom]

When do puppies start losing their puppy fat. Chip is not growing taller but he is a little pudgy and so is Maybelle. I have changed him to Purina One for Adults until I get to Petsmart for his brand in the adult.

I thought I respond to this because I find it cute. Do puppies actually lose their puppy fat? I mean, it's different for corgis vs. human babies because humans grow up quite tal and everything is stretched out. Corgis stay short but elongated. Milo is round like a log so I'm not sure. =)

Yes, strictly speaking, older puppies don't really lose puppy fat. They continue dreveloping even past two years of age and generally once they are 12 months old, one can "fine' them down from being a chubbyish puppy, by increasing execise and decreasing food. One way is to cease giving them a cereal for breakfast and trimming down to two meals a day( a main meal divided into two). Generally after 12 months they start developing muscles - especialy through increased and vigorous exercising

Sweetlychee dear, u r not alone buta looks like a log too haha I dun even know they can burn off their baby fats...they just seem to be gaining more fats on top of that

Eri - I agree. Hahaha. Buta looks too cute though. Sure, a healthy corgi is the best but a round one is too cute. It's harder for them to not eat or lose the weight but I want Milo to live forever of course.
