Guest Celestrina Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Acana has two different feeding guides; one for "more active" and one for "less active". Angie gets her exercise but she's definitely retired. She isn't involved in any type of sports, like lure coursing. She is a true couch potato.

JohnF Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Less active is for pet dogs who aren't hyperactive all day long and who aren't racing around flat out more than about 3 minutes. Perhaps a couple of minutes of zoomies and 2 half hour walks a day willl be 'less active' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwnedBySummer Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I used to feed "active" to my young working dog. She never ever stopped. Ever. Quote Lisa B.

RedHead Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I always wondered what was considered "active, and less active" as well. My pups jog and hike miles daily, but other than those 2-3 hours they pretty much sleep so I wouldn't necessarily call them "active." Even when I was half marathon training with Karma I still fed her regular amounts for her weight. I guess active must mean a true working dog, or a dog with a high metabolism who just stays really skinny. I always start by feeding the lesser amount and then I up it if they aren't maintaining a good weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleptogrey Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) a dog that acts like a jack russel is active. i don't know if anyone out there in gt land has a "retired grey" that fits that catagory. if they sleep all day while you are at work- less active if they sleep while you are at home- less active you will know if you have an active one...you'll know...you'll be crazed!
