Overweight Pets:
If your dog is overweight, feed a little less each week until your pet reaches his ideal weight. Dogs fed raw naturally shed pounds and fat turns to lean muscle.
Example: Our English Mastiff Hooch is 7 years old and weighs about 200 lbs. Hooch is a typical Mastiff, he’s a real “couch potato”. Aside from his two 40 minute a day walks, you can find him snoozing outside on the porch or on his oversized bed. Hooch only requires an average of 2 3/4 lbs. of raw food per day to maintain his trim, muscular form.
