[Dailydrool] susan/anal gland

[AnitaW]

So I have Gracie, who is just a touch plump, at the Vet this week for her
leg problem.  The Vet says she needs surgery and she needs to lost weight
before having surgery, so just don't give her much food.  And I said, if the
dogs get too hungry they start stealing the cat food and counter surfing and
trying to get into the trash.  (Do Vets really think animals who are HUNGRY
aren't going to go looking for something to eat???)  

 

Now this is the interesting part, I didn't know this or think about it, but
it makes a lot of sense.  The Vet mentioned green beans, we do that,
pumpkin, all three hate it, then he said, "add more fiber to their food,
this is what the pet food companies do when they make diet foods, they add a
lot of fiber.  Makes the animals feel full, they do drink more and they also
poop more, but they lose weight."  

 

What would you add?  I'm thinking oat bran, something like that.  Anyway, I
thought it was very interesting, and I'm thinking about adding some oat bran
or other bran to their food.  Has anyone done anything like this?
