[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 315992, member: 1963"] Yes, as fixed dogs age, they, just like humans, tend to put on weight. However, that said, if you have a fat dog, your dog is eating more than it's metabolism requires. Your dog needs to be checked for thyroid issues, but most likely it is just her taking in more calories than she is burning off. The fact that they other dogs are not gaining on the same amount of food is meaningless. Just like us humans, dogs're individual in terms of their dietary needs. Talk things over with your vet and ask his help in setting up a diet and exercise plan for your dog. [/QUOTE]
