Slimline Welsh Springer Spaniel



You might remember I mentioned Tess had put on a little weight while she had a limp – understandable but just like humans its so easy to put it on and so difficult to loose!!!!
Anyway we have switched her food to Joe and Jacks, a vet devised complete food, which she loves, cut down amounts and tried to be careful with treats. Our biggest downfall too!!!!! But I think the biggest impact has been exercise. Although we have good daily walks I realised she wasn’t really getting any cardiovascular exercise so dug out the old ball thrower. What a difference it has made.

She would chase that ball all day if I let her and she is now back down to her fighting weight of 15kgs and got her trim little waist back. What a beautiful Welshie she is!!
Now if only I could follow suit……………………………
