Does anyone use Wellness Core or Blue Buffalo healthy weight dry food? We are wondering if we should consider trying a weight reducing food because our baby has increased from 10 to 12 lbs over the past year or so. He eats Taste of the Wild - always has - and is a happy nine year old. He has energy, but he does have a tummy now and does some snoring at night, which can be caused by excess fat.

Since he is a senior, I am feeding my 9yr old yorkies Fromm Gold reduced activity and se ior dry food. Protei. Is 23% and fat is 11%. I also feed them a few tablespoons of Fromm turkey and pumpkin pate which they really like.
Fromm is good high quality food,.

What did yours eat before being a senior - still Fromm's? Do you have an opinion of Taste of the Wild? What ours has been eating has 25% protein and 15% fat. It is grain free though. Thanks!

I have never served either dog food, but with one of my Yorkies, I would give her about 6 green beans with her food so that she would feel full but have less calories. It worked for her.

Thanks! We have been serving green beens for a long time as a treat and with food - maybe about 5 or 6 daily - mixed with food and alone. Still concerned with weight, particularly in cold winter - he is paper trained. What food did you use before the Fromm senior type?

If they are doing well on their current food you might want to just look at reducing some of the food. Blue Buffalo is not a good food and it has made a lot of dogs sick. The problem with Wellness core is it’s grain free and grain free has been linked to heart issues.
