I just discovered Freshpet, I live in Florida & I can purchase it at Publix & Supertarget. Both have the refrigerators at their pet food section. You can get the type that you slice or in a bag in either case it has to be refrigerated. It’s not as expensive as The Farmers Dog & my dog loves it.

How about a little more exercise for all of the overweight babies? We have two young girls that love chasing birds and squirrels as well as playing fetch with mini tennis balls! It wears them out and they are very trim. They eat Pedigree small bites with no issues.

I have a Shih Tzu and a Morkie and had trouble getting them to eat until I swapped to Cesars. I get both the ‘wet’ in the little packs and also the dry. In morning I split a pack of wet between them and at night I give them another split pack with dry added on top. It is a little bit more expensive but worth it to me because they eat so well now.

My yorkies are prone to boots of pancreatitis, but they won’t eat the prescription food, so they eat boiled chicken and a mix of brown and white rice. I also put out a bowl of Blue Buffalo Small Breed Senior dry food and they occasionally nibble. But my two did have a weight problem, so I cut back on treats.
