Bobbie was already on tinned chappie and mixer and as it seemed to agree with him and his coat was superb I saw no reason to change. He has about a third of a tin(ordinary tin not those huge ones) in the morning with a little mixer and then about half a tin late afternoon again with mixer. His weight problem was caused by having no exercise whatsoever but now he gets about 4-5 miles a day off lead over three walks and he runs around almost like a springer spaniel trying to unearth all the wildlife. Hopefully he will continue to lose about 1lb a week but if he doesn't then I will change him to low fat food and keep an eye on his portions. Hope your lab manages to shift some of that weight.

Thanks all. Bobbie was congratulated with a low fat biscuit He's out for the count now having had another lovely day running around.

Bobbie is a very handsome chap and couldn't be in a better place than with you, is good he's losing the excess weight and am sure feels better for it along with all the tlc and being settled. Well done Bobbie and all of you too xx

Aww thanks H. He is a lovely fellow and on our lunch time walks just runs and runs on the fields trying to unearth pheasants very similar to the way a springer bounces around so I am sure he has some spaniel in there somewhere. I mentioned to the vet that I was told he was crossed with a husky but she couldn't see it although she couldn't see his curly up tail as it wouldn't stop wagging
