Well here it is Rolling Eyes
My dogs are on a raw natural diet Lux eats like a horse and is like whippet dog Bea is very active and only eats a third of the amount that Lux eats but I can't get her weight down any more Embarassed Rolling Eyes
Bea this morning

I try to bulk her food out with more grated or pulped carrots or courgettes Surprised And fail to see how this could be fattening her up?
I often hear her belly rumble so I know she must be hungry? And don't feel I can reduce her amounts any more Sad Is there anything else I could use as bulking agent to help her feel more full without looking like a fatty Embarassed
Bea's dad is a huge bear of a dog maybe she is more like him??


Any idea are very welcome

Thank you Very Happy It's nice to get lab owners views on this, I am not sure if it's just when she's beside Lux that she looks chunky as he is quite slim Confused
And I saw someone from her old training class ( who is known for telling it like it is) and her first comment on seeing Bea was I think she needs to miss a meal or two Embarassed

why do you want to get her weight down?

she looks fine, what weight is she?

my post went on at the same time as yours, so i now see the reason, isn't it great that people always feel the need to give unsolicited advice.

there are many "experts" out there!!

Feeling pretty relived that everyone thinks she looks ok Very Happy I can't walk her much more than I do 7-8miles a day I think is plenty, and now they have added puppy play on the garden too Surprised I'll carry on with what I'm doing still could do with something extra to addd as a none fattening filler for her Rolling Eyes X
