Can’t stop snacking? You’re not the only one. Whether it’s a rawhide around the house, or some fries spilled on the street, it’s easy to cheat on a diet. That’s why Lentil recommends biting someone, “Your owner will put a muzzle on you so quick you wont have the chance to snack any more. Make sure not to bite a kid or an elderly person, or you might end up getting put down.”

6. Skip Your Heartworm Meds

No one’s gonna tell you to ingest a tapeworm. But, if you were to get tape worms, they’re known to cause weight loss. Maymo the Lemon Beagle says “I once got a tapeworm right before a shoot and I lost 5 pounds. I felt terrible but first day on set, everyone said I looked great, and on the camera, it really shows.”
