I've never seen a thin lab. My step-dog was a lab, and he ate more than my Great Dane.

Step-dog. My ex's dog that I inherited for a while when she left.![]()
haha...chances are you're looking at an analytical chem breakdown so they aren't talking about actual ash. Well they are...but in a round-about kind of way...some even have ASH as an ingredient.
I could never feed my dog that kind of crap.
Every time I switch from Hills my garden becomes a s**t fest. I haven't tried Montego but some of these foods contain minimal nutritional value per gram.Recently downgraded from Hills to Montego Karoo.
Labs would eat all day if they couldYeah my lab is a fatty, but he also has a big frame, picture a lab in the size of a large German shepard

My two are on 200g of dry food each (Royal Canin Labrador) and one small can of quality wet (Husky, Hahns, Petleys) between them a day served with Bobtail gravy. Both are spayed bitches, Pheobe's 30kg and Pippa 35kg (but she's big for a lab).
:wtf: ... that's animal cruelty in my book.
Montego is pretty good, my lab loved it, unfortunately after we snipped him he started picking up weight at a pace of knots so we had to switch him to a Hills scientific food
Feed him less?
nope, he gets the same quantity of food now
He means you could have fed him less so he could lose weight, most dogs eat less when neutered/spayed.
I did a lot of research on this and they say that feeding raw can be detrimental to a dog in the long run. Apparently raw deprives them of certain vitamins and minerals which only shows after a long time, by which it's too late.People should do some research in the dry food or tin food they feed their pets. Processed and full of chemicals. I'd never feed that shiz to my dogs, no hills and no other brand.
Raw meat/cooked chicken diet mixed with veggies etc is what you should feed your dog. If you don't have the time or money, there are a few companies in SA that supply raw diet meals at an affordable price.
What have dogs been eating for centuries? I am not saying kibble is bad for them but according to what I can see with my own dogs is that they are doing much better on raw dietI did a lot of research on this and they say that feeding raw can be detrimental to a dog in the long run.

There's no conclusive answer on the raw vs kibble diets, so you do what you can. My dogs refused to eat raw, so I had to go back to kibble.
