Diet advice for a dieting fatty


Help. Tilly was originally over 6kg although she has now been on a diet for about 6ish months. She has 45g Royal Canin Obesity a day but she is always hungry. Are there any fat free between meals snacks she can have. I am getting desperate. I would like a lie in occasionally but she is constantly waking me up for breakfast

Hi, welcome. Have you tried just upping the amount of obesity food she has? How is the diet going? Has she lost weight? If she has, then it could be you can gradually increase the intake a bit.

What about a bit of tuna or chicken/fish - all relatively low in fat . . .

Unfortunately I'm following the vets instructions and they won't let me up it from 45g even though she has lost over 1kg now.
Alternatively are there any ways I can make it take longer for her to eat it.
She already has a treat ball which she can empty within about 30 mins.

Might those tiny whole dried fish be Ok for her? They have only as much fat as there actually is in the fish but I suppose that's omega-3 etc and terribly good for all.

Ohh I've never seen those. They could be an idea.

Good luck with Till's reducing diet. Please tell her one of her Catsey's aunts can TOTALLY sympathise with her plight!
