Mine have all loved red bell peppers. I trained our first Sheltie in agility with pieces of red pepper. Mine also like broccoli stems, bananas and apple slices. I can no longer eat an apple in peace.....
Chubby puppy?

Thanks! Any reason it's red peppers vs green/orange/yellow? I know my hubby tolerates all except the green - says they "upset his system".
I would guess because the red/yellow/orange are sweeter peppers than the green, but Bambi loved the green ones, carrots, and I gave her green giant jarred mushrooms, next to no calories, vet approved and she loved them, this was her "salad" a couple of nights a week, along with some small pieces of chicken. I used the chicken in the foil pouches next to the tuna in the store. Bambi really loved her treat because she was getting "people" food, made her feel special.

Your vet would know. I'm lousy at too thick, too thin. I look at Flyer and he's a skinny little thing, where Justus is um.... almost portly!

We have been a little concerned about Chip getting too "Beefy" lately. He was neutered at six months and with most animals they will have a weight gain soon after.
A cousin is a vet who just happened to visit yesterday. Asked him what he thought. "A little maybe." Then laughed.
Chip has decided he doesn't particularly like carrots, will eat lettuce, a little apple, loves cooked carrots, will kill for green beans, baked potato, eats about 3/4 to a cup of kibble. Gets a greenie just about every day and a few other treats for being the best pup/teenager in this world.
He is wide in the chest back and rear plus extremely muscular with hair four to five inches long and a good 1/2" to 3/4" thick. OH MY! What a blow out that is going to be. LOL

Thanks everyone - now I have a couple of new veggies to try!
I'll try to get a better shot this weekend. When looking at Baker head-on, he reminds me of a little football player - broad across the front. I don't know that I can do anything to change that.
When we were at the vet 2 weeks ago he said that he would be fine - giving me the impression that I was being too concerned about "puppy fat".
We started the 2 meal schedule, with fresh fruit/veggies at what was lunchtime. Hopefully I'll be happy with how he looks in a month or so.

Yep the green peppers do not agree with me either. Red, yellow or orange are sweeter. Try to get organic if you can, peppers have a high residue of pesticide spray. Green beans are good, too. And this time of year, don't forget pumpkin!
