My Max was the poster child for thatĭecided to change foods so that I could get Max to his ideal weight. Research was that a food that is very high in fiber makes it almost impossibleįor a dog to gain weight while eating that food. I kid you not! I did research every chance that I got, butĪn interesting fact that she uncovered in her hundreds of hours of Veterinary endocrinology books in her spare time…. He continued to lose weight no matter what I did. Grains, which most Westies do not do well with, it has a HUGE amount ofĪlready, that it was not a good combination for him between the very high fiber While many dogs do very well on it, my Max was not one of them. That was recommended at the time was Hills W/D. The next thing that we need to address is Keep calories up and not increase BG (Blood Glucose) in the process. Weight loss is to get BG (Blood Glucose) down to a place where their bodies canĪdd some pure protein like chicken breast to each meal and as a midday snack to Insulin is the key to unlock those cells toĪllow the glucose to get into the cells where it belongs. Instead of in the cells where it can be used for energy. When BG (Blood Glucose) is high, the body can’t absorb nutrients fromĪnd no matter what you feed, they continue to lose weight.

Lose weight when they are first diagnosed? Understood it, but that didn’t help me fix the problem. When my Max was diagnosed he was ravenous and The things that led you to the vet and ended in the Diabetes diagnosis? That is very common.
