<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Like I said before all my dogs do
well on Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream (the fish based one).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>I very rarely go by what is on
the packaging of any dog food as to amounts to feed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Start with Less then the
recommended amount.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Maggie- 68 lbs get 3/4 cup twice
a day. (Maggie is a very large Basset)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Marty the 8 month old male puppy
is 45 lbs, skinny as a rail and get 2 cups twice a day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Emma & Lucy, 52 lbs &
48.5 lbs get a half a cup twice a day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>They all get a small handfull of
Bill-Jac frozen mixed in, except the puppy who gets a couple of forkfuls of Blue
Canned.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Bil-Jac has mollasses in it and
Marty doesn't need any extra sugar. lol</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>When I don't have the Bil-Jac
they all get a Forkful of Blue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Except for a treat after
meals and one before bed thats it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>I also have to watch the
Dachshunds weight just as diligently. If they look a little
thin, they get more. a little pudgy , they get less.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Both breeds are pros at looking
like they are starving. Don't give in, or if you must, a small piece
of carrot makes them think their getting something special.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>I do believe that going down
stairs is the worst thing in the world for both Bassets and
Dachshunds. JMHO</FONT></DIV>
