[nagdu] Low cal food

[S L Johnson]

Dan:

After a long illness my last dog Tara gained some weight.  My vet also 
recommended the Hills Reduction Diet food.  Tara was a golden and she ate 
anything I put into her dish.  The Hills prescription weight reduction food 
takes off the pounds quickly.  Then you can return him to his regular food 
but might want to give him a bit less to keep him from gaining too much 
weight again.  You could add just a small handful of his Purina to see if 
that will make him enjoy it more.  Purina does have some low calorie weight 
control dry foods.  You can check out their website at www.purina.com.

Hello to all.
Well I hope things are going great for everyone on this beautiful Saturday.
The vet has made her  exam of Parker and during the time I was out of
commission for my ankle surgery Parker the Great gained some weight.
He has been eating Purina Proplan lamb and rice.
The vet recommended Hills Weight reduction prescription diet chicken flavor.
Has anyone used this food and what results.
I have transitioned Parker over four or five days to it and it seemed fine,
but today, after a few days of eating it with gusto he barely wants to eat
any of it. I'm considering starting to mix it again with the other food and
trying to make a slower transition... Or who knows maybe there's something
about it that makes him uncomfortable.
So any experiences or observations would be welcome, or even any other ideas
about low cal foods, I need to make sure the weight question doesn't get out
of hand.

Warmest regards,

Dan the man, Parker the nut
