Week One


Hi Everyone,



We have had such an active week! This week Chocs has been settling into family life, and he has done an amazing job! We could not be any more in love with him if we tried, he is a perfect boy and has fitted in so well. With having young sisters and a cat there is always that worry he may react badly however he is such a big softie he just does not care!

So this week Chocs has started his diet. In a day Chocs has 2-3 walks these are his morning walk, school run and evening walk as well as having full access to the garden constantly, playtime when everyone is home and access to a family friends amazing garden! He is constantly on his feet and loves to be active (which makes me wonder how he got to be such a big boy).  Chocs food consists of one cup of diet dry food, mixed with two forkfuls of meat and a teaspoon of olive oil, and he has this once in the morning and once in the evening. Treats we use our just bits of his dried food and sometimes a bone treat which the place we adopted Chocs from recommended as the fat content is nothing.

Chocs went to the vets this week and got weighed, he came out at a whopping 40kg!!


However we are already seeing some changes in our boy showing his fitness is improving and that he is losing weight! His harness and collar are becoming very lose and he isn't inhaling his food as much as when we first started out.

Hey


Hi Everyone,

I have set up this blog to show the journey of Chocs my 7yr old chocolate Labrador through his weight loss programme.

Background
We adopted Chocs from a dogs home only a week ago today, after falling in love with him two weeks ago. We were informed he is obese and is nearly 3st over weight! So as his new dedicated loving owners we are working hard to get him fit and healthy, and most importantly make sure he is happy and loved!

Thank you for reading our first post and here is a few pictures of our gorgeous boy Chocs the first day we got him.
