Sorry, it's me again!
When Alfie was ill with his pancreatitis he lost a kilo which was loads for a dog that is usually only 6.4kg (and very lean at that weight). Since he's been better, he has put some back on, currently @ 6kg, but I'm struggling to get him any higher than that. I'd actually like to see him around 7kg - just enough to have something in reserve but still being slim.
He has to have a low fat diet now so I think that's our stumbling block.
He gets 40g Burns fish & rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner and then gets some Applaws/Almo Nature wet food for supper. Quite a few treats throughout the day too, far more than he used to but they're all low fat also.
I feel like he's not really getting ''enough'' from the Burns but am a bit stuck on what else to move him to. Has to be under 8% fat for a dry food. I did try him on Pets At Home AVA Weight Management but he gets problems with yeasty paws on some foods and that made it flair up.
I know it's trial & error, but just wondered if anyone had any suggestions on what we could try? Thank you x
