Two meals (or if you want to leave it out all day, measure what he can have, put it out in the morning, and don't refill the bowl until the next day). |
I'm gonna try glucosamine probably
He is about half a kilo to fat, he's 6,6 kilo's and should be 6
But I'm started to exercise him more, finally so he will probably loose some weight !
I was often changing food cause I didn't like something with the other foods, like with Royal Canin Obesity, he lost weight on it but he pooped like 5-6 times a day ! and so much smell, and farted like there was no tomorrow !
So I changed over to Hills Obesity food, he was good on it until he started pooping like crazy about month after again and his coat was all lifeless and ugly.
Right now I just read about the ingredients in Royal Canin and Hill's and I don't want to ever feed him that again ! I have about 1-2 weeks of Hill's food left though I have to finish it, I'm going to buy new dog food tomorrow and use just both in one, mix it together so it will be better
He also doesn't want to eat Hill's dog food he hates it, and he's a dog that eats everything.
Here are the ingredients of Bosch Light dog food that I'm thinking of changing him over too:
Fresh poultry (chicken, turkey, duck), rice, barley, corn, whole wheat flour, wheat, beet fiber (sugar-free), cellulose fibers, hydrolysed meat, fish meal, fresh meat meal, animal fat, oil, beans, dried yeast, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, mussel powder New Zealand green lipped mussel extract (supports the formation and function cartilage) chicoree powder, vitamins and minerals.
Is this bad food or what? I can't find anything better most dog foods here have the first 2-3 ingredients just rice, corn and wheat ! so I think this is OK.
