Last May, my vet had suggested I start to bring my dog's weight down because he is entering his Senior years; explaining thinner is healthier in an older dog (he's 8). She recommended going from his optimum adult weight of 95lbs to 88lbs for the Senior years. I brought his weight to 93lbs and then switched him to a raw diet.
I started feeding him raw in September, best decision I ever made for him . I fed him between 21/2 to 3lbs a day and he went down to 90lbs.
Over the past two months I took on a new job and he is not getting the same amount of exercise that he always has. He is starting to gain weight. For now I am going to have to reduce the amount of food I feed.
How much should I decrease it by? I was going to reduce to 2lbs but am wondering if that is too drastic a cut to start out with?
Are there additional supplements suggested for the dog as his food is being decreased and as he ages? I currently use salmon oil and Vitamin E.
