paulus 26 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 the phrase "As fit as a butchers dog" came about for a reason. just look at the Atkins diet to see why????????????/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,260 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Your looking at the wrong problem, what you need to think about is calories. It's simple if you feed more calories than it needs, be those calories from meat, fat or carbs makes little difference, then the dog will put on weight, if you feed less than it burns it will lose weight. So if you have a feeding regime that suits the dog stick with it but balance the amount to its requirements. If you change you will still need to balance feed to requirement but you will need to start from scratch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
