hello my dog is one yr old chi/jack russel mix and was recently put on mendroxle she is done her meds ten days n while one meds she was put on a low fat diet prescription hills. she has lost alot of weight. now she needs too be weaned to another dog
Iams is a great brand of food, and it's not as expensive as Hill's. I also like Purina ProPlan, and Purina One. All of these are healthy, and cheaper than Hill's. I recommend trying Layla on one of those foods. You will have to transition her slowly to prevent GI upset. Mix together the new and old food, and over the course of two weeks, gradually increase the amount of new food and decrease the amount of old food until she is eating the new food only. Good luck, I hope this helps!

I have a basset hound 1 year old and an 8 month old lab. we free feed, iams Lamb with brown rice formula, but these two act like they are starving but I go through 40 pounds of food every 11 days. I use Iams with lamb as U also have a 4 yr old SShi t
If the dogs are maintaining a good weight, they do not have a problem with not getting enough calories. Both of these breeds can be food obsessed and are prone to struggle with their weights due to this behavior. Iams is a good food so you don't need to change it. You may try adding canned, salt free green beans to the food bowls to increase the bulk. You may also try feeding them with food puzzles, a food ball or a slow feeder. Many times this is behavioral if the weight is good. As adults, they can eat a diet dog food to allow them to eat more without all the extra calories. Best of luck.

Sydney is overweight at 62 lbs. What wet dog food is the best for management. How can I make comparison of different brands when shopping. Trying Purina focus w/m now.
Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. Firstly, good for you to get on top of Sydney's weight, once you get the weight under control Sydney will feel so much better! There are a few different products made for weight management, some of the best/most effective ones are the prescription diets. I personally like Hill's weight management diet, because the animals feel full but are getting less calories, and it also has joint support products in the food as well. You can try any company weight management food however, as any will work as long as you don't over-feed it. The best trick for this is to get a measuring up that is the amount you need to feed when it is FULL. Therefore you won't be tempted to 'just give a tiny bit more'. Measure the food out, and make sure everyone knows that Sydney is on a diet and doesn't get any treats! Remember, exercise is also important, to protect the knees in the start, try swimming with Sydney, it is great for the muscles and easy on the joints. Regul

what is the best diet for my god in oder for him to loose weight? Juts longer walks and smaller portions doesn't seem to be doing the trick...
I would look to foods that are "light" NOT weight management. Science diet has a great over the counter light diet. Also, you could talk to your vet about a prescription diet food which really helps them lose weight while still keeping them full. Keep up the good work on the exercise! I hope this helps!

Zeus has been eating iams puppy food but he seems like he doesn't really like it?! But I've been hearing that royal canin is good, but then I'm hearing that it's bad because of some of the ingredients? What specific food should I get him because we a
As long as it is a name brand food with an AAFCO label on it. This means it has been tested and meets specific standards. Typically royal canin, Purina, science diet, and Iams qualify for this. Be careful switching foods without suddenly as this can cause diarrhea. It is best to mix them and gradually switch it over a week
