Peeled, boiled plain sweet potatoes can be offered occasionally and in small quantities. They are high in carbohydrates though and could cause weight gain or inhibit weight loss if fed in large quantities. Consider an exam with your veterinarian first to rule out medical causes for Pavi's weight issues. To get her to lose weight, decrease the overall amount of food she is eating, increase her activity and limit snacks/treats. Cooked or raw green beans, without oils or seasonings, can be added to her meals to provide bulk. You can also discuss commercial weight loss diets with your veterinarian. When switching foods, do it gradually to prevent stomach upset.
