Stomach/Intestines rumbling.???
The Pit & the Rottie suffer from some kind of intestine problem. The Shepard mix has no problem.. Same food.. The Pit had all kind of tests including a $400.00 sonogram. I'm not trying to save a buck...

You are one cruel sadistic taskmaster. Don't look in her eyes? Are you serious? Shame on you........................:)
Yeah, I know.. I feel guilty because the Girl wasn't overweight when she adopted us as a stray... I took her to the local professed dog food gurus. They saw my overweight girl and prescribed the most expensive food they had. Balanced Diet Fat Dog food. I bought the sales pitch .. I keep cutting down on the amount of food, she licks her dish clean only sometimes and she gained four more pounds to 112. What confuses me, she mostly doesn't clean her dish.. She will later but seems to be satisfied with the initial amount. She seems solid, not showing much soft flab but in her movements I know she's just too overweight. Dogs.. Geeesh,,, How to figure them out...
Bahahaha!! :B I only said to ignore pitiful looks and to give attention rather than more food.
If your dog isn't cleaning her bowl all at once, cut back on the amount of food; it's excessive. You want her to do the happy dance at meal time, clean her bowl, and look for more (which you won't giver her ;)). Keep cutting back on the amount until you reach this balance, and she starts losing weight. Of course, upping the exercise is an important component, too.
My husband's family called our house "Beth's Boot Camp and Spa" when my MIL's dog, Rosie, was on her weight loss journey - lol! Rosie panted just existing when we got her, but she became the HAPPIEST dog on earth once she started losing weight and felt better. She loved playing fetch and going for walks. She started out only being able to walk up the street and back, progressing over time to 3 mi./day brisk walks.
