Give affection instead of food
Go vegetarian
Give crunchy vegetables to your dog once in awhile. These vegetables provide roughage and aid digestion and also carry a whole host of nutrients and vitamins. Some vegetables good to feed your dogs are baby carrots, broccoli, celery and asparagus.
Dogs should be fed twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. However, a good way to promote weight loss is to feed small meals regularly. Hence, your dog's total calorie intake for the day can be divided into 5 or 6 smaller meals. This can help reduce behaviours of whining, barking, pawing or jumping.
