Day at the Vet

Lily and Gibbs had their yearly checkups today. I took Lily in this morning and the poor nervous girl peed 3 times!!! The vet also said that she was overweight and needs to be put on a diet. She's 71lbs and the vet would like to see her between 60-65 lbs. So diet food and more exercise for my hefty girl. Any one have any diet foods they recomend? I'm thinking of the Nutro Natural Lite formula since she's already on Nutro Natural...As for Gibbs I took him this afternoon. Poor boy was shaking like a leaf, but he did fine. Everyone at this vet was very nice...unlike the old vet. They are both zonked out right now due to their hard day. :lol: I think they deserve some homemade frozen treats tonight.

Thank you for everyone's input. My husband does not like this idea of his baby girl having to lose weight. I'm a little iffy about it also. I mean I look at those charts...you know those ones that show a top view of a dog with the descriptions...and Lily falls into the "Can see a clear waist" category... :blink: So I'm wondering if she's really overweight...for now we've decided to just cut back on the amount she gets as well as more exercise and see what happens. It would be a lot easier to have them both on the same food. Plus I could use the extra walking mysef. ;) Once again thanks everyone. I knew I could get the advice I needed from people who also have bassets.
