What is the best dog food for weight loss?

Q: Josie is a 5 yr old border collie mix with low thyroid currently on medication. I just had her levels checked again and she is on the right dose, but after months on meds and various weight loss dog foods we haven’t had much luck losing weight. Our vet even suggested switching half of her kibble to green beans which we did but little effect. She loves to play fetch and gets to play twice a day when we feed the horses, and she runs hard, always the first one to the toy and the last to want to stop. We have a lab and other outside dogs that have adopted us, all without a weight issue and she and the lab play inside and outside. She swam this summer several times a week plus walks, and still only lost a pound. She eats 1/4 of what the lab gets. I’m tired of fixing green beans after 6 wks and no results, and was looking at buying the best choice for her, but everyone has a different opinion. I’ve been doing low fat/low calorie now with no results. Confused as to whether she’s getting too few calories and her metabolism is at a standstill or what. She was never a big eater even before dieting. Read about Life’s Advantage, Nutro Ultra and Max, Eukanuba Weight Loss, Solid Gold, and others and not sure where to go. Vet said they carried the Science Diet r/d and w/d but would try something at Petco first. I know Science Diet gets bagged alot and it is twice the cost of everything else. We live in a small town so there aren’t alot of options and have been feeding Beneful Weight Management. We can certainly order whatever we need online. I just want her to lose weight and have never had a fat dog before. Currently we have been feeding her 1/2 cup kibble a day divided in 2 meals mixed with 1 cup green beans and carrots in FF chicken broth, and 1/2 of the Beneful Prepared Meals so 5oz of the 10oz container. At night she gets a couple low fat Nutro or Blue Dog Bakery dog biscuits before bed. Other than some “horse derived treats” she grabs in the pasture, that’s all she eats. Just looking for some honest advice without bias or ridicule. The vet keeps telling me to give her less groceries and I don’t think he gets how little she is eating already.

Best dog food for weight loss, large breed?

Q: I used to feed my dog charlie ( 3/4 year old terrier mutt resembling a large benji- at about the size of a golden retriever) The Goodlife Brand dog food. But at a recent vet check, we learned that she’s got a slight thyroid problem that explains her weight gain and the small patch of hairloss on her right hip. So the vet prescribed a daily pill and suggested that she lose 20lbs! I know you may not believe me, but I really thought that she just needed to lose 5-10 lbs. She’s at 63 and I guess should be at 45? She has a tight concave (not stuck out or bulging) stumach and no rolls or bulging at hindquaters or neck where you can usually see extra fat on dogs. I guess maybe its because she’s so fluffy, or that she’s a mutt so there’s no way to tell what type of body she’s supposed to have. You know… slim and spry like a border collie or saluki… or thick and strong like a labrador or am.staff?I’ve switched her to a weight loss food, so she’s having Beneful Healthy Weight. Suggestions?After I posted this I started researching Beneful and found a website (eopinions) that had reviews for it. Basically it boiled down to that the number one ingredient was corn/corn product, there was very low quality protein and not much of it, and that it made dogs very gasy which tells me that it would cause problems. Corn is not very digestable (anyone who’s eaten it knows this…lol) so its obviously just a filler to get the dogs full but offers little to no nutritional value. I’m glad I only bought a small bag of this as a precaution! I wish I could figure out a recipe for making her food myself. I know the basic ingredients would be chicken, brown rice, veggies, and herbs like parsley. But I have no idea what vitamens/minerals and amounts I should be adding to make it complete nutrition for her. I’m scared that I would screw up her health…But making her food myself would I think be cheaper in the long run. I do Not have abundant cash, solid gold stuff may not be possible. 🙁

A: i will be blunt…beneful is crap..and if you read the ingredient label you will see why. it has corn and sugar { corn syrup } in it !!! feed your dog a good food, and it will not only eat less, it will lose weight. try one of these..and yes, they do cost more { and you get what you pay for..QUALITY } ::: solid gold {this is what i feed } , Newman’s own , Merrick, taste of the wild, blue buffalo, chicken soup, canidae, wellness, California naturals, natural balance, Artemis, and avoderm. these are good foods. stay away from anything purina, alpo, iams, eukanuba, ol-roy, and science diet. corn, soy, sugar, fillers, by-products, rendered animal parts { you do not want to know..it is gross stuff }, and wheat gluten { remember the recall }. hope this helps you. oh, and for the record my mastiff is fine, but my rhodesian ridgeback has a thyroid problem, and the solid gold works for us.
