When Gramercy came to us, he weighted in at 18.2lbs. He's now down to 16.0! His idea weight is around 15lbs and his future adopter will need to keep him at this weight given all his structural issues. Like most dogs, Gramercy loves food. It's been a bit of a challenge in feeding Gramercy because I want to save his food for training (that's a different post). So, what we've been doing is giving him reduced portion of his regular food 2x a day and kicking up the fruits and veggies so he gets a good size meal that's full of good stuff!
Waiting on his mat while I prepare breakfast
Catty decides this mat is nice!
Breakfast is served - blueberries, green beans, pumpkin, apple, nonfat plain yogurt and a tiny bit of dog food
Gramercy eats in his crate and you can see he loves mealtime!
Humm... the apples were not his favorite.
"I'm done" - he waits patiently for everyone else to finish their breakfast
One of our past adopters sent us a gift card to Amazon to purchase interactive toys for our foster dogs and look what I just bought! This is going to be awesome - I can put all kinds of food in here and then the clean up will be super easy! Stay tuned to see what Gramercy thinks of this.
Yay, Gram! Way to go on the weight loss! That'll help his poor legs for sure.
ReplyDeleteI think he's feeling much better now that he's a bit slimmer!
