Hi everyone! I have a dog food question. I've switched Bailey, my beagle mix, from raw to Innova Evo Low-Fat, he needs to lose some weight. He weighs 53 pounds and should be around 45 pounds. Maybe even less, the vet wants to check him at 45 pounds.
So my question is, do I feed him the amount for the weight he should be? The package has a range for 40-60 pounds, I think it's 2 1/2 -3 1/2 cups or something like that. Right now, he's eating 1 1/2 cups, and I mix it with salt-free, fat-free chicken broth (my boy likes flavour!), I give him 2 tablespoons of homemade pumpkin puree, and 2 tablespoons of canned food (Lean Cuts it's called, made locally, it's mostly all meat, no crap, a few veggies mixed in, but 95% meat). He also gets 2 buffalo liver treats per day.
So he's getting less than the package recommends but his energy level is fine and I don't see any negative changes in him. He's drinking way more water now too than when he was on raw (which is normal).
Can I get some feedback on the amount of food I've been feeding him? Thanks!
