One dog fat, the other thin
I have two Papillons, one male (3) and one female (2). The female is very thin, but healthy, active, great coat/hair growth. The male... is a moose. He's 12 pounds! While he is built more stocky than she is, I feel he is 2-3 pounds overweight. The vet doesn't seem concerned with either one's weight, but he's heavy heavy heavy. No health issues or parasites for either of them.
The problem is this: If I try to feed her separately, she won't eat. If I put the food down for both of them, I worry she isn't getting enough, as the male will eat the entire portion I put down if I don't stop him. I put down about 1 cup of dry food once a day, making sure he doesn't inhale all of it and picking it up when they walk away from it.
Any ideas? I wish I could take 3 pounds from him and put it on her:D
