don't change his/her lifestyle abruptly. gradually lessen their food intake (to a safe level, not too much) and exercise with him frequently. try jogging or walking with him daily or, if you can manage, twice a day. don't go to extremes, though; this will make him want food more. see a vet if all else fails.

My dog is also overweight. And here is the routine I do that has been helping.

1.) I take him out for walks 2 times a day for about 30 mins. If you have a small dog about 20 mins. You don't want to dehydrate them so as soon as you get back home give him fresh water.

2.) Do not give him the usual big bowl of kibal and juicy treats. Instead, try finding some kibal with a special diet routine or ask a pet store manager. Instead of doggy treats, try small pieces of skinless chicken (not too much) or something that has less calories.

Simple stuff. And usually I would put hot water in canned diet foods for dogs so the food would soak up the hot water and when my dog eats it he will fell like he has a full tummy. Plus, it helps upset stomachs.

Do not exclude fat from his/her diet. Fat is essential for health and it is essential to sustain life, whether it be the life of a human being or the life of a dog.

Long walks, dog food that doesn't contain wheat or plan based materials, and only feed them at specific times of day, never leaving food out of them to eat constantly when bored.

What were miniature pin bred for?

The Miniature Pinscher is a German breed. The Miniature Pinscher was developed from the Dachshund, Italian Greyhound, and the short haired German Pinscher. The breed looks like a mini Doberman, most likely because both the Miniature Pinscher and the the Doberman both were developed from the German Pinscher. The breed was used as a barnyard ratter controlling the rodent population in the stables. The Miniature Pinscher is often called the "King Of The Toys."Some of the Miniature Pinscher's talents are competitive obedience, watchdog, and agility.
