Tornado weighs 70 pounds and he eats 2 cups of Pro Plan kibble each day and one can of Pro Plan a day. He is a very finicky eater and hasn't gained any weight since we got him a year ago. We've tried several different brands, even the one the rescue group said he liked. He doesn't eat more than the 2 cups and 1 can.
I saw in the post that started the discussion, or one shortly after the original, that said something about the dog's racing weight. Tornado raced at 80 pounds. Should he really weigh 90 pounds? He seems healthy (and the vets say he is) and happy and he gets lots of exercise.
He does have a low thyroid condition too.
Any thoughts about the racing weight vs. the couch potato weight and what it should be?
