What food do you guys like for weight loss?
I think my 2 y/o is a genetic anomaly at 90+ lbs. We bought him from a reputable breeder and had him tested (100% Aussie), but he’s obviously not a “breed standard”. His dad is larger as well (80 lbs) which probably is the main contributor to his size.
Our vet recommended Hills Science Metabolic Mobility (3 cups/day) to see if we can get him down to 70-80 lbs, but he still hasn’t lost any weight after being on it for a year. It’s a prescription food and therefore very expensive, and since we aren’t really seeing results, I’d like to get him on a less expensive. Treats are very minimal and table scraps are all but non-existent.
The vet doesn’t really have any other food recommendations for us, so that’s why I’m looking for owner recommendations.
So, what food do you feed your chunky pups?
