i think willowishs idea is fab or the veggies in her food thingy

Thanks for all the replies.

Chloe does have bones from the butcher quite regularly

I'll try some veggies with her, the vet has already told us to cut her diet out by 50% which seems cruel but she has to lose the weight, especially before she can have the operation.
