Thanks so much for answering so quickly! Wow! My girl is 64 lbs. and does get a lot of exercise (daily running and swimming) but I htink you’re absolutely right, now that I’m carefully thinking about what I’m feeding her in addition to her Nature’s Variety (occasional kibble and treats for training purposes) and so I’m going to cut out the kibb;e and see if that helps the weight. She’s a very healthy dog otherwise – I’m very careful never to medicate without a major reason or vaccinate unless deemed really necessary (and with lots of reading Whole Dog Journal!)… I have one last question: how do you decided what kinds (chicken, beef, lamb, venison, etc.) of N.V. to feed your “kids: and when to switch ‘flavours/kinds?’ I’ve been reading that it’s good for dogs to switch foods… what do you think in regards to Nature’s Variety? I know various meats have more and less fats, etc.
Thank you again for all your time – I’m learning a lot here. This is great!!
