    I an easily feel his ribs no fat there and he doesn´t have a potbelly.He just looks totally different in pic´s then real life.
    He and Max run and play in this big ex sheep enclosure 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening.Also there are ordinary walks inbetween e´s to young to be cycled with so this will have to do for now.

    It is very much based on the individual dogs - just like with humans!

    Jazzy always has had a tendency to chubby-up, even as a puppy I had to be very careful about how much she was fed. She's {2 yrs old} currently on a low-fat dog food {which she likes as well as I like human low-fat food, LOL}.

    Keoki, on the other hand, at 5 mos is lean. He is currently fed 1 3/4 cup of Puppy Chow a day {broken down as 3/4 cup in the morning, 1/2 cup around mid-day, and 1/2 cup in the evening}– which I think is about what you are feeding Myran, with multiple treats for training purposes throughout the day.
    Sometimes I can just see the outline of his ribs, depending on how he is standing. They are always easy to feel.

    From that picture he seems to be in great weight, but again… they change so much at this age... there is no real exact amount that they should get...

    Is eating Science Diet better than not eating at all?

    First, I want to say that my B has liver disease, not kidney…but he is also supposed to be on a low protein diet. He was diagnosed at age 11...he is 15 now! The vet initially suggested Science Diet, and Senji would rather starve to death than eat that, but I digress. To get to the point, I cook for him. Usually boiled chicken or turkey, white meat or legs. The organ meat or red meat stresses his liver. I add rice and vegetables to the broth. He grew up eating mostly Pedigree, but they keep changing the formula. I put a little bit of dry dog food down and then the rice/meat mixture on top. If he doesn't eat the dry dog food, he tends to get runny stools. Throw in any vegetable you think your B will eat, such as carrots, green beans, zucchini, peas, etc. (No mushrooms or onions!)He also likes to eat scrambled egg, cottage cheese or yogurt. Occasionally, he'll eat some white fish or salmon too. His coat looks great and he still runs around like a pup!

    If Magnum doesn't have a little something in his stomach, it's an almost sure bet he'll puke on a walk. He just gets so excited! So I've learned to give him a biscuit or two before a walk. But he doesn't get his meal 'til we get back.

    Plain yogurt may be better for calcium than cheese and is more natural than the probiotics (has a similar effect). Also, I have read that pork can be bad for dogs and should be avoided… I sure hope you can get Barley feeling better soon!

    Topper,12; Nicky 10, ; and Eddie 8 all eat a combination of 3/4 EVO by Innova, and 1/4 regular adult Innova. We free feed, dry kibble is down all the time, but I think I put about 3 cups out a day, some days they eat it all but some days I don't add kibble at all. Mine do get a bit of whatever we have for dinner, mostly veges, they love all veges as long as they are cooked, especially broccoli and sweet potatoes. IT acts as an appetizer, as soon as they finish their plates they run to the kibble bowls to finsih their dinner. We used cheaper grocery store foods for many years but I felt my dogs deseerved a better quality food so tried several premium brands and settled on Innova. Then when they came out with EVO, I slowly added that but when I went 100% EVO, their poops were a bit loose, so we re-added the regular Innova and it seems to suit them perfectly. Eddie's coat was very coarse when we rescued him, he is soft and silky now. Even though it costs about twice as much as the cheaper stuff, I know they are getting good nutrition and their coats glow and their teeth are clean, so it is worth every cent to me. We are what we eat, and if we eat 'animal by products' (hooves, bones, feathers and even sawdust in some) sprayed with flavors and dyed with food colorings, we may be saving money now, but inviting health probelms in the future. Just MHO, but strangers compliment my dogs on their gloss and vigor! Anne in Tampa, off the soapbox
