I have my dog on diet because after a three month bout with heartworm disease, she gained about 20 lbs. Now s?

Virginia M asked:


Maizzy was not allowed any physical activity because of her worm treatment for three months. Now that she’s well and can exercise and play as usual, she is always acting like she’s constantly hungry. How can I stop her begging and be happy with what I feed her, which definitely is enough.

    Metabolism and Your Weight

    my overweight dog constantly begs also. i know how that is!!! all we do is tell he to go lay down on her special dog pillow in a corner by a window. that way she is out of the way when we are trying to do something. Make sure that she isn’t trying to get your attention for other reasons. she may need to go outside or she may need water. good luck and keep exercising her! :)

    Lose weight fast

    When she is back to her ideal weight, she won’t be constantly hungry. To get her to stop begging, keep her busy with other activities so that she is tired and doesn’t feel the need to beg. If she begs when you have food, ignore her. Many dogs beg at the table when their family is eating. If you ignore her, she will see that she is not getting a response from you and lie down. If she continues to persist, keep her in a crate or another room while you are eating.
