harv the old man is my eating machine. right now he's a skinny 48 pounds and he's eating 4 cups of canidae ALS a day. and he's pooping four cups of canidae, too. yowza. (for comparison, my young dogs at 45 and 55 pounds eat 2 cups and 1.5 cups a day respectively).
he's healthy- there doesn't appear to be any reason for him to be eating so much other than he's just got a fast metabolism. (no worms- he's been wormed, had two negative stool sample, and takes interceptor monthly, bloodwork is normal, urine sample is normal).
so. canidae = 4 cups/day to maintain his skinny self. i had him on timberwolf wild and natural (i think that's the name- the grain free) and he ate 3 heaping cups of that per day. i just can't afford to feed him on timberwolf- that stuff is expensive (but gosh it smelled good).
what i'm looking for and don't know if exists is a food that's got moderate protein but higher than usual fat. the only one i've found is eukanuba performance foods, and, yeah. 'nuff said. but part of me is considering trying it because if it works for him, it works for him. (i feel dirty for admitting that in public!)
