[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 78430, member: 1049"] Hey Bez, Just a thought-- Can you post photos of these 2 lucky dogs? If you do not know their complete family tree, they just might have some "sighthound" in them ( greyhound, saluki, whippet etc ) and those dogs always appear like a skeleton. The clue is how their feet and toes look--Greyhounds and greyhound mixes have different looking toes...... Take a photo. The oatmeal and pasta WILL work. I should mention I use Quaker Oats or the store brand and I buy it in bulk and when ever it is on sale. Same with pasta. I have a greyhound mix and a visiting friend has a golden retriever/ greyhound mix that is always boney and running 40 mph through the pastures. A sight to see. A lower protein quality food with the oatmeal mixed in, has really helped. Also--if you are feeding a HIGH PROTEIN dog food--you are putting JET fuel into your dog and that WILL make them more active. Counter productive to gaining weight. So cut down on the protein content, and that will "calm" the canines a little bit. 22-24% protein is a good level for adult dogs. It goes without saying that spaying/neutering is a healthy choice, but does NOT guarantee that a dog gains weight. "The eye of the master fattens the beast." I have a pack of s/n dogs here and [b]all[/b] are trim. Several are age 14 and 15. You are fortunate to be able to make fresh dog food from your beef cattle. You might want to think about getting into the premium dog food business. Just need one good protein source and 3 other quality ingredients--and you'll make the infamous "RECCOMMENDED DOG FOOD LIST" and become rather wealthy in a very short time. Guaranteed. [/QUOTE]
