Kratos now weighs around 60 lbs, which worries me because that's where he's supposed to stop. But he's not anywhere close to being overweight. You can feel his ribs, but not see them & he has that sleek figure huskies are supposed to have.

Thanks all! This has definitely helped! And Amyk, the exact same thing happened to us! She doesn't eat much and the food literally sticks to her ribs! We just purchased the Blue Buffalo today and she seems to enjoy it. She was guarding her food like there's not tomorrow! Talk about not being able to walk by her. lol! I'm trying my hardest to give her more exercise than usual, but being in Miami, it's a bit hot for her to bare more than 20-30min walks. Hopefully in the next months once it cools down we can go for longer =)

Petco also sells Natural Balance and Barking at the Moon which are good foods

HI Guys, about a week ago I changed Mya's food to Blue Buffalos high protein, low carb formula (i was going towards the healthy weight formula, but the petstore had run out and she was out of food). I've been walking her about 3 times a day now that it's cooled down a bit in Miami. When I say cool down, that means 70 degrees lol! Her stool isn't so mushy and she goes a few times more than she did before. She also looks a bit thinner to us. She loves the food might I add! I think we're on a good road here

Nero on his 4 month birthday was 33lbs

Glad to hear she's doing well on her new food

Thanks! She likes it so much that she licks her bowl for like 5 minutes after she's done..lol. It breaks my heart, but I've been strong and not given her more!

On a weigh in, Koda was about 40lbs back in June.. very skinny! Now, after switching to Ziwipeak + Primal, he is weighing in at 53.6lbs. He is looking very good and you can't see or feel his hip bone anymore, yay! He still needs a few lbs, but we'll see what his "healthy" weight is. He is about 23.5" and standard max is that with 65lbs, but I think he'd be chunky at that weight.

We did weigh ins this past weekend and I'm over the moon happy that my boy finally lost the extra weight he's been carrying for close to a year now. He's finally down to 56 lbs! He's been hovering at a slightly heavier 58-60 lbs for the past year so I am overjoyed to see him slim down a bit. He looks so handsome now, you can see his curves and well defined muscle lines. Bring on the lady sibes cuz we've got one hot devil here in Charleston!

Yay! Good job ladies!! So glad you both have healthy, handsome men now!

A photo for reference!


And woo hoo Val! Maybe Dakota donated some to my Koda.

wow koda looks great!

Thank you! He was on a raw diet up until about 1 1/2 years old when I couldn't do it anymore due to not being able to buy bulk when we moved in an apartment.. tried kibble, 433943 million kinds of kibble, and could NOT figure out why he was getting so sick. I found Ziwipeak, which is dehydrated and is just meats with no carb source, and that worked wonders and he began packing on the lbs(I fed him what a 75lb dog should eat on it so he'd gain) along with a home made raw meal twice a week, but now I use the primal mixes or grinds 2-3x a week. We have a freezer at my mom's where we are at until summer, but we have too much food to fit bulk meat in I can't wait until I move out again and can purchase a huge freezer so I can do prey again!

i need to find a good place to buy bulk around here...grocery store meat is just wayyyy too expensive.

On an old forum we had a link to a place where you could find local butchers that sold bulk for feeding, but I don't remember what it was

Not sure if you have an asian market, but usually they sell meat cheaper.

Milo weighed 38.5 lbs today before he lost his man hood and got micro chipped. He is around 5 months old

Oh yeah, Sioux got 106 lbs on the vet's scale when he got his rabies shot. That's eight pounds less than April and still about 10 from what I want for him. Coco is next with her distemper shot and exam in a couple of weeks.
