| Madison Loses weight 3 weeks ago we stopped using evo after Madison started gaining weight. We started on Primal raw and acana dry. Madison has lost 1/4 inch around her ribs in the 3 weeks! yay! I'll take her to the vets office tomorrow to get her exact weight. But she does look smaller and not so thick! I was worried her being overweight would only make only make her LP worse. Not to mention other health issues. I am a mommy on a mission. I want healthy dogs! Lexie my maltese is a little skinny dog and I don't have to worry about her weight. But Madison's not even 2 yet and we don't want her ...how shall we say...healthy appetite to create knee and other problems.. |

| I give mine Wellness and I worry about mine gaining weight too. I don't want their knees to be bad because of excess weight. They are Morkies and they weren't suppose to get over 4lbs and 6lbs. Now they are nearly 6 lbs and 8lbs. (I know that being a mixed you can never know) Is there a way to tell how much they should weigh according to their height?

I don't know if by height there's a way to tell. Maybe someone with more experience then I will be able to answer your question. | |

| Evo is notorious for packing the weight on because it is so high in fat. Most Evo feeders I know feed less than the amount recommended on the bag. |
