 |  |  |  | Hey Tippy. Gio gets a bully stick about once a week (maybe twice, but no more than that). But whenever he gets one, I always cut back his evening meal. For something like a 12" bully, I will cut his dinner just about in half. Same thing for when we are training a lot. Anything more than just a cookie, and I change how much kibble he gets in the evening meal. He is at a good weight now, and ever since we retired from flyball, I have been very careful not to put any weight on him. He is getting less strenuous exercise so doesn't require as many calories, and since he has a bad leg, I know excess weight will really aggravate it. His weight fluxuates so easily, that something like a bully stick can add on noticable weight in just a short time. So I just make sure to cut down on the size of his normal meals when he gets treats like that. |  |  |  |  |
