Lilnina 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 you got any other dogs? most on here would say dont feed dry food, feed meat instead. i feed some dry but with as much raw meat as i can. all food is fed according to the dogs ideal weight and current work load so you need to find out how much he weighs and also what food is it and what are the guidelines for feeding amounts. if you think he is overweight fed him just slightly less than reccomended. but he may be overwieght due to lack of work if thats the case you may need to adjust how much you feed by keeping an eye on how he is looking . worm him too-most important and i would reccomend milbemax how old is he? has he been kept indoors or out? on his own or with others? is he castrated? all the above and more will effect how much and possibly what you fed him. if he is going to be living out for the first time dont chase the weight of off him too fast at this time of year just increase his excercise and let him turn fat to muscle. hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
