I took our rescue Havanese in for his annual physical, and the vet said that he was not at his "optimal" weight. I asked directly if she thought he was a "fat boy", and she said with a smile, "Well, yes, that's one way to put it." So, it's a bit of a diet for him - the voracious eater that he is. Bottom line, just watch their weight and adjust accordingly.
