Good thread, Crikit. I think that is a good thing to know. It doesn't bother me to much if dogs have extra padding. -But it makes me sad too when they are flat out obese. To the point where they waddle. There hasn't been a single dog in PET TALK (that I've seen) that is that fat. I've been lucky with my dogs. I free feed them and they stay thin. Teddy is getting a little porky though, so I am going to stop free feeding him. He is 6 lbs right now. (He's a pomeranian.)
