Saturday Night Live’sChloe Finemanis opening up abouther dog’s dramatic transformation.The 36-year-old actress and comedian welcomed the adorable Shiba Inu puppy in late 2020. Fineman named himPeachbecause “his behind looked a lot,” like the fruit.“He looks like a peach. He sounds like a peach. He’s sweet as a peach. And also, at the time, Georgia had swung the [2020] election, so I was really into that,” theMegalopolisstar tells PEOPLE.
After moving into Fineman’s apartment, the “handsome little boy” quickly adapted to the New York City lifestyle. His typical day includes sleeping in until noon (if Fineman allows it), a trip to the park, an afternoon with the dog walker, and plenty of playtime once Fineman gets home from work. It’s a “charmed life,” according to the famous dog owner.Over time, Fineman noticed that Peach was growing more lethargic, agitated, and itchy, which interrupted the peace of his beloved routine. Three months ago, Fineman took Peach to the vet and received some less-than-ideal news.
“Very lovingly, they noticed he had put on a few pounds, which is easy to think of how that could have happened in New York where he always has a burrito in his mouth when we’re walking,” theDespicable Me 4voice actress jokes.She adds: “I definitely wasn’t surprised because his collar was getting really tight, and I was like, ‘Oh, he was really kind of chonk.'”

Fineman’s vet suggested Peach switch toHill’s Science Diet Perfect Weightpet food to help him shed excess weight. After eight weeks on the new food, Peach lost between 3-4 lbs. — a big difference for a dog of his size.

“He’s definitely beach body ready, but more than anything, he just has way more energy and is just in a better mood,” Fineman said. “I’m happy that he’s back to being puppy Peach.“For other pet parents who notice their four-legged friends adding a few extra pounds, Fineman says it is all about finding a diet that works for them.
