All of my dogs have gained weight eating higher protien dog foods. My beagle is now on a diet (per vets orders, she is not fat just really thick and bulky) and Tucker is on a prescription diet after eating a few teaspoons of EVO wet and Acana daily, which is only 33 percent protein. I really thought I had found a good quality food that was working for my dogs.
. When I had them on totw almost 2 years ago, they all gained weight too, Tucker as a puppy gained almost 3 pounds in 6 weeks.
I guess some dogs can burn off or tolerate the higher protien more than others. I just find it odd that I have 3 dogs of different breeds and activity levels gained weight while on higher protien foods.
