My dog is very overweight and I can't get her to lose weight. What should I do?

My sweetie is too! I've been able to see a visible difference since going to a "better" dry food instead of the easy canned dog food. Her vet is also happy to see the difference although less $$ for him! Ha!
We use Iams, she eats less, more active and her coat is very shiney and visable weight loss as well & at 13+ years, very impressive! She still "expects" treats - that was one of the problems to being with, she trained us very well!

She may need more excercise. Also, doggie treats are very fattening..

Bring her to the vet. They can do a simple blood test and first find out if she has a thyroid issue - which can be brought under control with a very inexpensive medicine. It may not be your dogs fault (or yours). If they determine nothing is wrong, they'll be able to advise you on how to address the issue.
