I have a dog, a pug. Her name is yoyo, she is so fat, and I think that she is more like a pig than a pug. Everyday all she does is sleep, I can only taught her trick to lay, pretend dead, and sleep. Because of that she is fat. I would like my dog to be slimmer, what should I do?

firstly you must exercise your dog, at least one half hour per day. Secondly put yoyo on a semi vegetarian diet which includes 25% turkey to 75% vegetable. Really very easy to homecook. I do not know how old yoyo is, so if you can provide this, I might be able to help you. Hope you are not giving her kibble at this time, homecooking is the way to go and must cheaper and healthier in the end.

It's important for your pet dog to have regular exercise. Do you have a lawn where your dog can freely roam or run around in? I know some people who put their dogs on the treadmill! You might want to try that.

Well, you have to give her exercise. She may not like it but it needs done. An active dog body is like an active human body in the way it will lose weight when moving. Try to cut back on her meals or find a healthier food for the little one. If that doesn't work then give her small meals throughout the day. She'll burn that energy much faster than the big meals.
