Rawhide or treats for dog on low fat diet?

You need to take him on long walks/runs daily, rather than weekly. Get him as much exercise as possible. Regular dog food is fine, just cut back on the amount you're giving him. Measure out his food according to optimum weight, rather than the weight he is, and give that to him in two meals. Since I'm not sure what a buhund is, or what the optimum weight is, I can't suggest what to cut back from his food. If he gets 2 cups a day, try 1 3/4ths cups. As well, the higher quality the food, the less they'll eat. My dog went from eating nearly 2 cups of garbage food a day to eating 3/4ths a cup of a more expensive brand(small dog, he's on Taste of the Wild right now). Do NOT give him any treats, whatsoever. These are mostly loaded up with sugars and help add to obesity. For something to chew on, give him a nylabone or kong or an unprocessed meat bone(I buy soup bones from the grocery store). Nothing basted, nothing processed, nothing rawhide. A chewer needs to chew, but you don't need to be giving them the equivalent of a bag of chips to control that need! On the same note, no table scraps!! People food is notorious for packing the pounds onto a dog, as they need more of it to meet their nutritional needs. I cannot stress enough the benefit of a high quality dog food, as it meets the dog's nutritional needs quicker and fills them up with less. Rice and broiled/boiled meats are good for a dog, but I don't think that's the best course of action for this dog. Rice/meat is generally used if the dog has an upset tummy, or digestive problems, and I don't know if it would be suitable for a weight loss program. Ultimately, your vet will have the best answer. Most would be willing to advise on something so quick over the phone without a consulting fee. Good on you for rescuing this dog, and good on you for trying to make him healthy.

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.

You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didn’t get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.

It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.drcharleslivingston.tv/ - it will blow your mind.

Why not try carrots? You could either cut them up or just buy the baby carrots at your store. That's a healthy snack and my dog loves them. Bananas are okay in a small amount as well. :) I think a rawhide bone is fine for your dog to have. :)

i hate rawhides. they can be very dangerous. just go with low calorie treats

treats less calories
