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?

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.

stick with that if she likes it
