What do I feed obese Bichon Frise dogs? ?
Any quality less active/senior formula would be fine. Just be warned that little white dogs sometimes have allergies to certain ingredients – mine are allergic to corn and I have to feed them a lamb and rice formula. I also supplement with a fish oil capsule to keep their skin healthy – they tend to itch a lot. You’ll know that they have allergies after 2 weeks they will start to kick their paws and/or chew the fur on their hind legs. Be careful – most treats also contain corn! Be sure to walk them several times a day. They need exercise to slim down – start with a walk around the block 3 times a day and work up to 20-30 minutes three times a day or if this isn’t possible then work up to an hour once a day. It’ll help you work off those Oreos you might have snacked on around 3:00 today too! I also only feed twice a day. I set their bowls down for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening. If they mess around and don’t eat – they’ll be hungry at the next feeding time.
