Dieting Dog

We recommend keeping your pet at a healthy weight, so we'll make dietary and lifestyle recommendations when we think it is necessary.
Recently we saw Puma, a 3 year old german shepherd cross and recommended a revisit. Puma had been adopted as an adult by a long time client of ours.

We'd heard Puma had some bad habits of helping herself, but this email conversation surprised even us.

Hi Mr ____

You saw Dr Charlotte six months ago for Puma's lepto booster and she recommended a further 2kg weight loss and a weight check in six months.

I understand from Puma's notes that she has eaten a block of butter and some milo since that visit, so she may not be quite on-track, but I thought I'd let you know that it has been six months. Dr Charlotte consults on Thursdays and Fridays.

Kindest regards,

Olivia (VN)

Here's the response from Puma's owner.......

One packet of milo
One tub of butter
Two loaves of bread
300 grams of goji berries
Half a pack of anzac biscuits
one packet of 8 grain crispbread
Apples, oranges and fejoas
Don't forget the jar of marmite.

and this is the things we know about, No , Puma may not be on track to
lose 2kg?
nothing is left out,everything is put away in cupboards, fridge or we hide stuff in the micro wave or oven.
Waiting for the day she learns to open everthing.
we will make an appointment for Friday week, 5pm ish.
will ring.
cheers
