This forum has been great advise for trying to get Buddy and Lady to loose the extra lbs. After weighing them couple of weeks ago at our vets, the vet said to use the science diet lite. My wife felt that is what we pay her for so lets use it at least until they get the weight off so we bought a big bag. We measured with a standard measuring cup to make sure we were using the appropriate amount. We also made sure they weren't getting excessive treats. (they get 12 calories of treats per day)
Yesterdays weigh in (Drum roll)
Buddy - 89 Lbs down 2 lbs
Lady - 94 Up two lbs........
Net weight loss.............0
Both of them acted like they were starving on this stuff. Buddy started getting in the trash, a behavior he had stopped. My current feeling about this stuff is GIGO, and oh my GO.
So after much deliberation we have decided to change strategy and go Wellness Core Reduced Fat.
One last note at the Dr. office yesterday the vet tech couldn't believe it and suggested the "10 Kibble Diet". The dog's only get 10 kibbles in the morning and 10 at night. I keep you posted on progress and no we are not using the 10 kibble diet.
