Was it from here..or similar. Just wondered as our vet sell Royal Canin and maybe yours does too? Strange otherwise how they 'guessed' about the spaying time  :shades:

Whenever I've had a castrated male and an entire one at the same time they've both been fed the same food and I've never had any problems with weight management. If one of them starts to look a bit chubby or a bit skinny I adjust the quantity of their food slightly. I honestly think it's all about finding the food that suits your dog and don't believe there's anything special about all these breed specific foods, weight control foods etc. that warrants the extra money that manufacturers and vets charge for them.

Thank yes that is what. I think Penny has been on this food 4years with a little fish added or Natures diet and is fine tummy wise so would not change to this specific food just wondered if it was a new food I will have her weighed at next swim and adjust accordingly. She runs with the grandchildren and even a little run with the dogs at last Col meeting other wise she just plods and sniffs
