-
Avoid feeding table scraps and snacks.
-

-
Divide the daily allowance into several meals for the most efficient weight loss
-
Keep your pet in another room when preparing or eating your own meals
-
If you have several pets, feed them separately
-
Don't leave any food lying around
Make sure you've enough of the recommended food for holidays and, if you're going away, give clear feeding instructions to the person looking after your dog.
Introduce the new food gradually over a 7-day period by mixing your dog's former food with increasing proportions of the new food, until only the new food is being fed.
