Reply To: How much food do I feed my dog?
Participant
@Patricia, the good news is that you are seeing higher vitality (longer walks). That’s good.
Could you list or link to the specific foods you are serving?
The Stella kibble I’m seeing is only 14% fat. Despite being 36% protein (which is good), that means a lot of the calories are still coming from carbohydrates, which will disrupt fat-metabolism and slow weight loss.
One also has to account for the higher calories in nutritionally dense food and adjust accordingly. Feed by condition and not by formula. Too many calories are still too many calories even if they come from optimal food sources.
And the Stellas kibble I see is not optimal.
Best, Bill
