What is a Hemp shake and why do people drink them?
Most weight control diets are higher in fiber the regular formulasIt's done because overweight dogs usually have slower metabolismsThey need the extra fiber to clear their systemsThere are also supplemennts that are high in fiber and can be added to your dog's dietThe Missing Link is one of themAny premium food wet or dry that is formulated for weight loss and control will helpJust watch that the dog doesn't lose weightVitamins will help with thatAslo watch the dogs bloodsugar levelGood Luck
I just checked the dog food site of the food I feed my dogsIt's Canidae all life stages Chicken and riceIt has 4.00% crude fiberMaybe take a look on their web site your self and check this food out.
High fiber hardens the poopI had a Great Dane with colitis, and he was on a high fiber diet for it.
Ok, lets start at the beginning you have tried from your list at least 6 different types of dog food since you had the dogPresuming you had him at 8 weeks (2 months) that is 6 diets in 5 1/2 monthsAll dogs need a balanced diet which means if you are feeding a complete food you need to add absolutely NOTHING to it,no scraps no tit-bits no tinned food NOTHINGThe quantity of food that should be fed as quoted on the bag is a guideline only and should be used purely as a rough estimation of what a normal dog would needYour dog is not normal so here is what I would do and yes it will workHills science plan is the only fixed formulation diet on the market ieit uses the same ingredients in every batch made irrespective of costs (unlike other manufacturers who will for instance use a different source or mix of cereals to keep the costs down and their profits up) Hills as you know make a large breed puppy food, if it says on the bag feed 500 grams a day then I would, in your circumstances, use 350 grams for the first few weeks then gradually increase it over the following few weeks until you are somewhere close to the bags recomendations,obviously if your dog gets loose again then starve him for 24 hours and restart with a smaller amountYou need to stick with a food for at least 6 weeks to have a chance of it working properly if you cant get Hills then Royal Canin is a very good alternativeJust for interest James Wellbeloved,Burns and a lot of other pet foods are made in the same factory ie.Golden Acres and use similar ingredients there are few companies that actually manufacture their own products.Keep away from anything with colourants in to Good Luck
