    No it depends on the breed of do you have, I have a male newfoundland and he weights 70 kilos (154 pounds) which is right for his build and height

    Really? I guess most of my friends take better care of their animals.

    My cousin keeps food out all the time for her 2 dogs, & both are considered UNDER weight. Probably because she runs with them every day? lol

    I also always keep food out for both my dog and cat and they are both a healthy and consistent weight. My cat seems to graze, popping by his bowl every couple of hours for a few nibbles at a time. My dog ignores his food until he sees my boyfriend or me eating, then he runs over to his bowl and eats as well. It's really cute!

    hahahaha My Sophie does that too! If I sit down to eat dinner and she doesn't have her's she goes and sits by her bowl and scratches at it like "Uhhh HELLO!? Where's MINE?!"

    My Labrador is overweight. But labs live to eat!! He loves his food!

    But now he's old and got diabetis and hip problems so he's been on a strict diet for years.

    My Doberman is even older but n a perfect shape since she's a picky eater.

    Sadly, I do. Here is a current photo (he's sorely in need of a bath). This is a Jack Russell Terrier and the little guy (relatively speaking) has Cushing's Disease.

    And here he is just two years ago.

    97e5e98e-03f9-49e1-ba9c-99cbd07fa17e_zpsc0fd2fd8.jpg

    I couldn't understand why he was gaining weight or why he was getting ridiculously long hair. After I couldn't seem to handle it on my own, we went to the vet and got the diagnosis. The poor guy barely gets anything on his restricted diet but he's slowly losing weight. I don't have a pic of him at his heaviest. He's doing well, no complications yet besides the weight and non shedding. We hope that continues for a long time.

    Our GSP on the other hand is in great shape and in an ideal weight range!

    Well your burro looks like he's in a perfect weight range. That's something at least.

    I think my cat prefers the term "furry".

    But seriously, I've actually been impressed with him, he portion controls and only eats when he's hungry. Gotta keep up the trophy cat appearance!

    I have 4dogs, 7 cats ( along with others- we have property the cats keep the snakes away)
    Anyways out of all of my pets I only have two that are fat. They are cats, brother and sister about 7yrs old. Jack isnt really fat, hes just a big cat, but his sister rose is a fatty. She was never fat until about 3 yrs ago. One day just BAM! Vet says shes healthy though. I really dont get why shes fat shes always out and about running up the hills.

    my dog was two pounds overweight. we both started exercising, she lost 2, I lost 90. pwn!

    That's awesome! What a great way to lose weight.

    There are so many cute pups on this thread!!

    You can see my little girl in my ticker. She's a French Bulldog and the perfect weight for her breed per my vet. She runs around for hours a day like a little rabbit! Her favorite thing to play with is coconuts - they're about half her size and she picks them up and runs around with them - so she's getting her strength training in, too! :laugh: She definitely keeps me motivated and makes sure I get my play time in every day. :heart:

    i had a friend in high school who had a 26 pound cat. and not a maine coon. this was a fat mother ****ing cat. the thing would literally wobble back and forth as it slid its belly across the ground to get to its food bowl.
