Question

louie louie
Hi my boston terrier has been staying with my family while I temporarily couldn't have him at my house - and now he is fat! In my opinion - he is very fat! I don't know exact weight but I need a regimen for weight loss and health as soon as I get him home (within a month) because I know BTs are not suppposed to weigh very much with their tiny legs & I want him to be very healthy. With me he always ate Wellness but I am definitely now looking for one or two basic home-made recipes (which won't cook out all of the nutrients) so that I can cook for fat louie!

Thank you! Kristin

Answer
Hi Kristin,  there are some great foods on the market for Louie or we can do some home-cooking, too.  Do you know what they have been feeding this boy?
( brand ???)

Thanks for the cute LOUIE photo!

Get back to me with more info.
YOU may want the vet to do a blood test to check Thyroid levels, too.
