Our vet told us that our lab needed to lose weight and we should cut down her food a little. We did, then every time she came back in the house she would breath on you and you coudl tell that nasty little bitch had been picking at piles in the yard. We put her food back to the previous level, and she has stopped doing it. I' ll let her be a little fat.

All of our dogs go for the cat feces if given a chance but I think that is just a special treat.
