Just because your dog is a Chihuahua, doesn't mean he has to look like a stuffed chalupa...

So my dear friend Ivy confessed to me this morning, that her dog Chip weighs in at 6.07 pounds. The doctor told her last night that is 20% more than what he should weigh. In "dog weight" that is like 20 pounds on a human. Chip needs 176 calories per day to remain at a healthy weight. She has been feeding him a bowl of his food which is 391calories per cup! Ivy can take control now. She needs to get her dog on a restricted calorie, natural path. If you are in Ivy's situation, don't fret my pet: even Toto couldn't follow the yellow brick road without some guidance from Dorothy...(I'll be Dorothy for today)
