Re: weight issues
Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.
Do you know how much Belle weighs? I usually go by the guideline amounts, for the weight of the dog, on the packaging of the food then just adjust accordingly.

Re: weight issues
Hi and welcome, think a lot depends on the individual dog, our Enzo is inclined to put on weight but eats less than Enya who has no weight problems its just their metabolism I think.. I would suggest being careful that the wet food is not cereal based and reduce the dried a little.

Re: weight issues
Hi & welcome!
I'd cut out the wet food & just feed dry. Then go by looks - if she looks a bit porky, cut it down & if she looks a bit thin, increase it!

Re: weight issues
Hi and welcome.
I have been told to feed by looks too. You should clearly see the bottom rib and a suggestion of the next one...does this sound right? What does everyone think?
