Puck eats plenty, but I have a tendency to give him one more treat than the box says, because he gets so much exercise, he's skinny. Then a friend reminded me that I shouldn't spoil him with treats, because he's been nuetered and will end up gaining weight soon enough.
As he's my first pet, I'd totally forgotten about weight gain because of neutering.
Why does that happen?
When Puck switches from Puppy food, should I go ahead and wean him into a weight-watching adult food to forestall excessive weight gain?
How hard is it to keep a nuetered Chi from getting overweight--does it just depend on the dog? (If so, I don't think Puck will ever be fat, he's a maniac).
