Fluffy's Diet

A lot of folks have asked what is Fluffy eating? 

Foster Mom Marilyn tells us his diet consists of the following:

Innova Low Fat Adult Dog Food, 374 calories per cup.  Vet estimated he needed between 366-433 calories per day, if his ideal weight is between 20 and 25 lbs.  He gets scant, not generous 1/2 cup morning and evening, plus two squirts of fish oil on top of his food at each meal.  That leaves room for treats and dental chews.  Baby carrots are only 4 calories per medium baby carrot, whereas a milk bone is 40 calories per medium sized biscuit. 
 
He gets a glucosamine tablet every night to help with his joints.  
 
Fluffy's vet says ideal weight loss is 4%-6% of body weight per month.  

Thanks, Marilyn!
