I think i should call Dunc the chonks vet and say your suggestion is working.

The suggestion was to add green beans to his food at around a 75% food to 25% green beans to watch his weight.
Straight green beans Chonk would pick them out and would spit them on the floor.
Yet green beans covered in turkey mashed potatoes and gravy totally doable yet once again i forgot the side effects of chonk gas with turkey gravy yesterday.
As we cuddled watching football and am now enrolling Dunc in a flatulence support group i also will be attending for my love of chili.

Doesn't the mash spuds and gravey cancel out the green beans? marble falls Nov 17 #1

It worked like a charm. I used unsalted canned green beans. Devon lost weight without feeling deprived. 🦮

without shrieking, are Soul Brothers indeed!

My girl dog, half American Bull Terrier (and something else) used to sleep on the bed with me.

First thing in the morning, I'd need to open windows for some fresh air!

If you think Dunc is bad, you ain't seen nothing yet! (Gets worse as they get older)

Gotta love them, no matter their lack of social grace!

But Dunc, being who he is, will go by smell rather than taste, so keep up with the veg disguising.
Probably gobble down 100% beans if you cover it with beef gravy.
