zcRiley- I have a pitbull as well. He is currently weighing in at 68lbs and he’s almost a year and 2 months old. I check his weigh constantly and feel his ribs to make sure he’s not gaining or losing too much. How does your boy look? Are his ribs sticking out and very visable? Was he a tad overweight at 80lbs maybe? Does he tend to drop more weight every summer when he gets more active? What food is he eating? How much were you feeding before compared to now? Was he always given 3 meals a day or was he free fed before and that was what caused his weight gain?
Also when do you notice him drinking more water? Is it after activity or just constantly?
I do 2 meals a day 12 hours apart for my dog and he is at his ideal weight and always has been. He will still lick his bowl after he’s done and eat the cats food but I attribute that to him now finally enjoying food as he did not before and would barely eat. Dogs sometimes gorge themselves and can eat past the point of them being full. Thats why I asked if he was free fed before since he might be used to being able to eat whenever he wants.
