Bart has been on a "diet" for a year and a half when we found out he had knee problems. The vet had recommended Science Diet Weight Loss. Needless to say, it didn't work. I think he would have to eat it instead of people food for it to work. Ooops...
Since Chris and I have been on a diet, he doesn't get as many handouts as he used to - if we only get 1500 calories, we certainly don't want to share - so he has HAD to eat dog food. But he would only go to it as a last resort. I would fill up his bowl with his daily serving and I would still rarely have to fill it up every day.
He ran out recently and I went to Petco (because thats where the pets go) to get more but they didnt have his regular diet food. I bought the only diet brand that they had - the Dog Whisperer Food. Bart LOVES it. He can't wait to eat - the first time I filled his bowl with it, he ate the whole bowl without stopping. It's so adorable to watch because he has never enjoyed dog food - we had to hire a trainer to teach him how to eat two years ago.
I hope it does double duty - good taste and weight loss. The scale won't lie this week after his weight gain last week.
