Thanks for the heads up :0) My Big Baby Beagle Hannah has gianed about 15 - 20 pounds over the winter and is feeling the strain of the weight so she has been ordered to lose at least 15 pounds.

Its mostly my fault I spoil her rotten and everytime I go shopping she meets me at the door looking for her treat because she knows I always buy her something to, and we are a little lazy over the winter months.

I have cut her off of all treats as I said in my first post and we go for walks twice a day (well I use the word walk to Hannah but its a twenty to thirty minute run in our back 20 acre field, I sit in the middle of the field on a lawn chair and her and Copper my other hound run like crazy, then we have a game of ball.) So far she has lost three pounds, we are pretty proud of that :0)

I know she loves veggies and fruit so I though that would be the perfect low fat treat. I give her alittle as a snack in the afternoon, and mix alittle in her food.

Carries suggestion of taking some food from her supper as a snack is also a great idea. I think once the weather warms up and we get back to agility, and all the summer fun we have the weight should fall off.

Thanks for all the suggestions, you guys are a great help. Im glade I found this board I have gotten alot of good advice on many things. Im only 21 so I have alot to learn :0)
