Baxter's mum
Baxter the boxer doesn't know it yet but his days are numbered when it comes to treats and leftovers.
His new diet starts on 1st Jan and he needs to lose one and a half stone to get him to the normal weight range for a boxer dog.
When I took him for his check up in april the vet told me off about his weight but I've failed miserably in getting a single pound off him since. He has benefitted greatly from my reduced stomach size and gets a lot of leftover sandwiches, chicken dinners, pasta etc. He has the most expressive puppy dog eyes and can do a brilliant impression of a starving mutt. He also barks at me until I give in and feed him and I've been giving him treats just to have a quiet life.
So a new diet with no treats will not only be good for Baxter's waistline, but also for re-establishing who is the boss in this house, because it certainly isn't me at the moment lol.
I wondered have any other post oppers here been guilty of overfeeding their pets to compensate for not being able to eat themselves?
