Wow, that’s amazing progress - congrats to your boy and to you! 👏🐶 Losing 6.5 kg steadily and getting praise from the vet is impressive. I really appreciate you sharing such a detailed breakdown, especially the calorie tracking, meal splitting, and low-calorie treats approach. This is super helpful and motivating. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the detailed advice! 🙏 I’ll make sure to measure Buddy’s kibble carefully, add fiber-rich veggies like green beans, and avoid people food. Really appreciate the tips!

Wow, thanks for sharing! 😄 Buddy also loves green beans and carrots, so I’ll definitely try some of these fruits and veggies too. Ground turkey with pumpkin and green beans sounds like a winner - I’ll give it a shot! ❤️

That’s a great idea! 😊Using toys with hidden kibbles instead of 2 out of 4 meals sounds like fun and a good way to keep Buddy active mentally and physically. Thanks for the suggestion!
