Ooooh the shame of it :(

Today I washed the 3 girls ready for their holiday with us.
I am ashamed to admit it but they look just as fat wet as they do when dry and fluffy

Do any of you out there have trouble with your dogs being hungry?
My girls love to eat and I do try and diet them lol.

Feed them less of their kibble, but supplement with a "filler". Raw veggies (I think things like green beans and carrots work) are pretty indigestible, they come out looking the same as they went in.

Whenever our dogs need to lose a little poundage, I'll give them a couple carrots throughout the day to fill them up to make up for the less kibble they get. Doesn't add calories but makes them feel full.

Hmmm my girls dont eat kibble I feed them veggies and meat and the odd raw bone.

They hate carrot though lol and spit it out from their bowls

I fill Isabel up with green beans.

Stop all the snack foods, decrease the size of their portions, then feed just a little bit 3 or 4 times a day, but make sure it doesn't add up to how much they eat now.

I measure kibble with a measuring cup. Each pug gets a slightly different amount. If one gets a little chunky, I cut back a bit, and up the walks. The walks themselves make a big difference in mine.

What kinds of meat do they get? If they get alot of the fattier cuts of meat maybe trying leaner cuts. This works with Lucy when she puts on a little too much weight. As it is approching winter, if you live some where really cold, you may want to leave a little extra weight on them. Lucy tends to stay heavier in the winter than in the summer.
