My dog needs to lose about 50 lbs. she just weight in at 99.5 way too much weight. I know the sensible answer is to cut back on her food and snacks, but is it necessary to buy a Vet prescribed food such as OM made by Purina. I have purchased a bag costing 31.00 for 20 lbs. Way to expensive but if necessary will continue to buy. Is there a cheaper “good” food out there I can start her on? Thank you.
I have to puppies one is a rottweiler and cattle dog mix and the other is a rott and lab mix. They both just turned one. One is 90 pounds and the other is 80 pounds. We were just at the vet and they did a body fat test on them. Neither one of them has more then 5 percent body fat on them. They constantly wrestle and play and they both love to run up and down the hills by my house and when i walk them in the forest preserves they both do belly flops right into the pond and will swim for a hour if i let them. They are in great shape but i was wondering with all the exercise they get are they getting enough nutrients. I feed them twice daily and they get a scoop of dry food and half of can of wet food. Should i increase the food intake or keep it the same. They dont seem like they are starving threw out the day and they dont demolish there food when i put it in front of them but they will lick the bowls clean. Can any one offer some advice please.
It was not really a cause for concern. It was just something I started thinking about just recently. It never really bothered me before because like i said they never seem to be starving threw out the day and so i was just wondering.

ive been giving him a gallon of food a day, and a gallon of water a day for about 6 months, he’s 1 year old, and i cant decide if the boxer is coming out as far as the shape of his body or if im under-feeding him. I cant see his ribs, but i can kinda feel them when i pet him..not much tho, but his stomach area looks thin…just … am i under-feeding him, or is it the boxer coming out?
his mom was a boxer and his dad was a lab…i only feed him once a day. 1 gallon of food. like i said he has the structure of a boxer, with lab face..so i guess he’d take the boxer stance…and he’s about 65 lbs.
My Australian Shephard eats super fast because we used to have a Yellow Lab and she thought her food was in danger of being eaten i guess. Now that she has no other competition, is their any way that i can get her to stop inhaling it and chew. She seems to choke a lot and im worried she will damage her insides.

I’ve got a few soft drink recipes that I’ve been working on in my food lab for a while, and I’d like to get then out on the market locally. I’m looking for the best place to get 200-300 PETE bottles and custom labels to bottle my drink. Where can I acquire these? Most of the Internet retailers do custom bottle jobs on prepackaged bottle water, but none that I’ve been able to find stock the empty bottles themselves.
Another one of my major concerns is health. How do I make sure that my drink will be safe for consumption after sitting in the sun for three days? I don’t want to add tons of additives, and I’d like to keep boiling and other heat preparation to a minimum in order to preserve the flavor.
I don’t expect overnight success but am looking for direction on where to begin.
