I'm trying to change the weight on all my lot:
Bella (speyed and a dinky girl, should be 10kg but is about 10.4 and it's proving very hard to shift those 400g)
Zorro (neutered but only 10 months and eats like a bloomin' horse but is a little too lean for my liking)
Ziggy (16 year old cat, too thin but eats like a horse)
Taj (9 year old cat, way too fat thanks to some silly neighbour feeding him who won't stop)
With the dogs they're both on raw look at the difference in what they get:
Bella - 175g per day (1.75% of her ideal body weight, they normally recommend 2-3% should be fed), she gets chicken backs (no fat or skin), breast of lamb with almost all the fat trimmed off, tripe with the tiniest bit of liver, and beef mince (5% fat). Barely any treats although she does scavange in the park and gets the occasional bit of frankfurter sausage on walks.
Zorro - 450g per day (3.75% of his ideal fully grown weight of 12kg), he gets chicken wings with the skin on, fairly fatty breast of lamb, bigger bits of liver than Bella and beef mince. I'm also giving him bits of porridge in the hope the oats will bulk him out a bit.
I feel so sorry for Bella on her measly little portions, thank god they can't see into each other's bowls!
