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

Dr. Hinson, since blue buffalo has a lot of calories and my male’s weight is steadily increasing (as expected because he is still growing) what food can I use to keep his weight under control because if I leave one cup of kibbles (each) out for them,
I understand. I should have clarified. It is probably not the kibble so much as the canned food. If I remember correctly you also give that? If so, just cut that out completely or give only a tiny amount (like 1 -2 teaspoons per day). You can stick with Blue Buffalo if you'd like. They have an adult weight management diet that is grain free. ( https://bluebuffalo.com/natural-dog-food/grain-free-blue-freedom/dry-food/freedom-adult-healthy-weight-chicken-recipe/ )

My Chiweenie is overweight (31 lbs). The vet says he should be no more than 22-24 lbs. I have been trying to get his weight down for some time, but every time the vet weighs him, he's a little heavier!! I have been trying to increase our walks and de
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I highly recommend that you consider the Science Diet metabolic weight management diet which has proven to result in weight loss. This is something that can help Boscoe achieve weight loss though this should still be combined with regular walks/exercise. Good luck and have a great day!

What is a better puppy food for a basset hound I'm in between iams and instinct?
Iams. Grain free diets appear to have a link to heart disease in dogs (although the connection is not yet figured out). Iams is a good food that is safely made. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

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!
