I think i should call Dunc the chonks vet and say your suggestion is working.

The suggestion was to add green beans to his food at around a 75% food to 25% green beans to watch his weight.
Straight green beans Chonk would pick them out and would spit them on the floor.
Yet green beans covered in turkey mashed potatoes and gravy totally doable yet once again i forgot the side effects of chonk gas with turkey gravy yesterday.
As we cuddled watching football and am now enrolling Dunc in a flatulence support group i also will be attending for my love of chili.

It worked like a charm. I used unsalted canned green beans. Devon lost weight without feeling deprived. 🦮
