Zamboni's ideal weight is 38 lbs.
For the last several years, she has been weighing in at about 44 lbs.
She even reached 46 lbs at one point.
Well, she was diagnosed with thyroid problems, put on rx meds, and a serious diet. I switched her from a carb-based kibble to one high in protein and fat.
Other than her cake and a few fries to celebrate her birthday last week, she is only consuming about 1/2 her usual dehydrated meat snacks (Hey, she's a beagle mix, she HAS to have snacks!
)
We had a weigh-in yesterday, and --- drum roll please --- since December, Zamboni has lost 4 pounds!
Zamboni now weighs 38.6 lbs!
We had a mini-celebration in the vet's office lobby. She gave high- fives and high-tens to all of the techs and receptionists! Hooray!
(We're going to DQ to celebrate!
)
