she walks everyday. She does have a health condition. Birth defect: trouble swallowing. Can eat food with no problems but chokes on water. Lives off of ice chunks. Has regular vet visits. Just had her with her parents and brother. All 3 are close to 100. She is about 50-60. We also have a poode that is 10. Worry about her getting too fat at the same time.
how old is she?
what kind of food are you feeding?
how much are you feeding?
has she been checked by your vet for any medical issues?

My Labrador is about the same size, and weighs 98-101 lbs. I'm pretty sure that weight's ok. My vet told us to watch his weight though, to keep it in check. Maybe you'd want to check to see if you should decrease his feeding or something. Just call your vet.
I was reading something about Nicole Richie, and apparently she weights roughly the same as a golden retreiver, or a plasma TV. Is there a website that will take your weight and tell you what objects you weigh the same as?
Oh, and I'm 104. What could that be?
you weigh the same as a 3 month old pig
She eats alot but I have noticed she is losing weight any suggestions.
Post-surgery abnormalities should warrant a vet call. Better to err on the side of caution.
i have a 13 yr old dog (was 65 pounds) and she eats 4.5 cups of dry food and 1 can of food per day and she is losing weight. (now 55 pounds and dropping) she is not very active. will old age cause this? she is rottweiller, lab, retreiver cross
Could be worms, but doubtful-Since she is an older dog I would go to the vet. Sometimes serious illnesses strike dogs at an older age- Not to scare you but many cancers have weight loss as the first symptom. Especially if she is still eating. Vet time. Good Luck.
I'm tired of buying cat food and having the dog eat it. Why not just feed him the cat food? He's not overweight. I'd like to put the bowls on the floor for the cats and dog. Separating the cats is difficult. If weight isn't the issue and the cats like the cat food then why not? The dog is a Labrador Retreiver.
Dog food is for dogs, cat food for cats...they aren't interchangable. Dogs and cats have different nutritional requirements. Dogs fed soley cat food can end up with blindness, kidney disease and other issues. Cats fed dog food exclusively can end up with very serious health issues as well including taurine deficiency.
Also your dog should NOT be free fed. He should be fed at schedualed times of the day. This is important in case there is ever an issue and you need to know what your dog has eaten and the amount.
It is very easy to feed a cat away from a dog simply put cat food in an area that the dog can't access, such as on a table, counter, washer/dryer, etc.
Inexperience is not enough to stop some people from putting their endurance to the test for a good cause. For them, a program run by The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society offers guidance to beginning runners, cyclists and other athletes who complete events nationwide to raise money for blood cancer research and patient services.
Team in Training, or TNT , is a charity sports training program that has raised more than $1 billion in more than 21 years. Focusing on endurance-based activities, more than 420,000 participants have trained with TNT for events that include marathons, half marathons, triathlons, 100-mile bike rides and hiking adventures. TNT helps interested athletes locate events around the country and matches them with training groups and certified coaches in their area. The coaches train participants in the areas of fitness, nutrition and fundraising.
The program began in 1988 when Bruce Cleland , of Rye trained for the New York City Marathon with a team of runners who raised money for the society in honor of Cleland's daughter, a leukemia survivor. Since then, Team In Training has become "the world's largest endurance sports training program," according to its Web site. Contributing to that cause are a number of Central New Yorkers, who have already walked, ran, cycled and swam as a part of Team In Training. Meet six of them:
