Many thanks to both of you Pugmomsandy and Patricia! I actually do go by body condition as a rule and Eli was losing his waist definition and tone a bit so we weighed him and he had crept up from a defined waisted 65-70 lbs to 75-77 and his waist was getting pudgy. He is an English lab and shorter than others I have had in the past. Also is very barrel chested. A quick glance and steady observation gives me the red light that it’s time to check weight. I wanted to do it slowly and safely so with both of your input pretty much in line with what I was doing I am comfortable now. Pugsmomsandy, I have also gone with lower carbs and higher protein until his waistline is where it should be.
