A study of overweight dogs fed a reduced calorie, high-protein, high-fiber diet for 24 weeks found that the dogs' body composition and inflammatory markers changed over time in ways that parallel the positive changes seen in humans on similar diets. The dogs achieved a healthier weight without losing too much muscle mass, and their serum triglycerides, insulin and inflammatory markers all decreased with weight loss.

I’ve tried this with her and reduced her food amount and cut off almost all treats! She’s been registered as a miniature dachshund which she’s not, she’s somewhere between a mini and full size dachshund, she’s got longer legs than a usual dachshund, and she’s really heavy boned.

Just seeking some advice on what to feed her, for a long time I was boiling chicken or beef mince for her and my elderly chihuahua.

thank you
