Charlie has weighed 13 lbs for the past two months. Recently, he became ravenous and his food is gone by 11 AM – AND he's gained 2 lbs. He gets about 1-1/4 cups of dry food and free feeds. Am concerned about his health and getting too heavy. Also, my climate is cold so he isn't getting as much exercise tho I play with him inside and let him race around quite a bit. As an aside, I never thought he would be this big; the mother was 8 lbs and the male 14. HELP, would sure appreciate your ideas. I'm stumped. Thx. Kathy

well, i have a 5 yr old shih tzu and he weighs 12lbs the vet said that was a perfectly normal weight so he may be overweight and i feed my dog canned food and 2 cans per day vet also said was fine
