Sorry, I dont use any diet food. If I find my dogs getting a little tubby I just simply cut down on their rations slightly, maybe just adding a little cabbage in which has almost no food value for dogs, just to bulk the food up and make it appear to my dog that she is getting a decent amount. Dont try to loose weight too fast, slow and steady does the trick.

 

What dog food do you use? thank you for your advice.

 

I use Masters Meaty Crunch, have done for going on 40 years. I use it for a number of reasons, my dogs like it and seem to do well on it, Masters put money back into dogs by sponsoring a number of working gundog events, and a friend holds the local concession for it so I get very favourable price plus a cup of coffee and all the local news when I go to collect it. But as you can see, having fed the same food for so long my experiences of other foods is VERY limited, so I'm not a good person to talk to about foods.

 

I feed by eye, at the minute I need glasses as a couple are on the porky side and on reduced rations. Like John, I don't use diet food, I just reduce portion size, and, if appropriate, up exercise. My lot are raw fed with some home made stews thrown in occasionally.

 

Thank you Tarimoor for your very welcome reply.

 

Im also like John and don't use diet food, my Ben is on Skinners field and trial. I just go by eye and if he looks a bit tubby I reduce it a bit and up the exercise.

 

Thank you so much Lablover61.
