Thanks everyone for your advice, has helped a lot and given me strategies and things I need to do to help Max lose some weight :)

You are certainly not alone in this - pugs do like their tucker!

One of the simplest ways to cut down his weight is to replace about 1/3 of his normal meal with vegetables. Green beans are the most common replacement, vary this now and again with some pumpkin. If you or family members are in the habit of giving him treats during the day, make sure you "count" those in his daily allowance and adjust his meals accordingly.

It will also help if he has a few extra walks - I know, cold weather but bundle up and off you go!

We have cut down on the treats due to his weight, I know this was an issue. so it is OK to do the veggies with his dry food every meal?

Feed less .

What are you feeding now ?What quantity do you feed ,do you feed once/twice a day?

What treats does he get?

What is the activity level ??

Feeding him Optimum 1/2 cup twice a day and only has treats now and again, we walk about 20 mins 3 times a week. We have a 4 month old puppy, which has also increased his physical activity.

Hi Just wondering if anyone can suggest a good dry dog food to help my 2 year old pug lose some weight. Max is about 2kg over weight and I'm not sure what the best way to go about getting his weight down. Any advice would be grateful. Cheers Tanya
