I have my lab on Autarky and he is doing great on it (and keeping his weight off)
I had Fern on autarky too but she wasn't putting weight on - but now she is doing brilliantly on Chudley's  :D Braan is also on Chudleys and growing too big  :005:


(Crazyspaniels are you sure he's not a springer??  :005: as he's still growing  :shades: )

he's gonna be like his uncle Bilbo, and you know what a handsome devil he is  ;)
Looking forward to seeing him soon, though he'll hate me after I stick a big needle in him (microchip for the nosey ;))
Mine are all on Chudleys and they thrive on it, tried all sorts and settled with Chudleys after nothing put weight on Dobbie - not that he has much weight now, but its better than looking starving

Yeh and I dont think otter wil be too chuffed eitherm thats if I decide to get him done on the day  ph34r :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

My two are on Burns, I changed over the Nutro because there was an offer of a free bungee dog lead  ph34r, but after they had finished a 15kg bag they had both put weight on, so gave the remaining bag to my local dog rescue and they are now back on Burns :D

Gari is on Burns, he loves it as treats too instead of fattening biscuits. He was on tinned Pedigree in his last home!  >:D

My lot are on Oscars, I changed from JWB  after several years as their coats seemed to really start to dry out. They are doing well on the lamb and rice variety, with salmon bones (biscuits) and lamb bones as treats.

It is really hard as even Burns treats, or JWB treats give Barney runny poo's   but the Iams (which I have now read about and am appalled) is fine, and he loves it, Ia m so torn

At puppy class last night we got given by the trainer a 2kg bag of JWB, and I would like to try it but don't want to upset his tummy

You mention that your dog's food is left out all day and he grazes.

It's generally recommended that you just have set meal times (I feed morning and evening, but some people like feeding only once per day), leave the food down for ten minutes and if it's not eaten, lift the bowl and don't put anything out, other than the fresh water dish, till next meal time.  It stops some dogs from pfaffing about - they get hungry, know it's a long time till the next meal, and get on with "regularising" their eating.

Let us know which food you settle on.  Main things: good quality ingredients (and the main good ones have been listed in this thread) which your dog thrives on.

Good luck.
