Guest Wasabi303 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I just wanted to share my victory with you all, because you are the only people on the planet who can understand the excitement. Wasabi weighed in at 67.4lbs today at the vet! I am so thrilled. We had a terrible time her first couple months with finding the right diet, and even once I got that right she still was gaining weight very slowly. I am happy to report that she is up 5lbs from her low point over the summer and she looks fantastic. (I feed Iam's Green Bag and Olewo's Carrots, in case anyone wanted to know.)

Guest Johberry Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Congratulations! Such great news. We, too, did a happy dance last month at the vet when our boy weighed in within a pound of his racing weight. He had been well underweight when we adopted him 3 months ago. Again, I definitely share your enthusiasm. P.S. We also use Olewo and include it in our boy's breakfast kibble meal every morning.

Guest Wasabi303 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 This may be a dumb question, but how do you find out your dog's racing weight? I am not exactly clear on that. Also the carrots are magic. I don't know where we would be without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest normaandburrell Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Try greyhounddata.com. They list races, results, and the dog's racing weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidansmom Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I wish I had that issue. I seem to have a hard time keeping Aidan slimmed down. He only gets 1 1/2 cups twice a day but still seems to be getting a bit chunky. I think its party my fault though, I am a bit heavy handed with treats! shame on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wasabi303 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hmmmm. So this is a bit of a mystery, but the weight section on greyhounddata.com was left blank for may girl. She did not race much, maybe they never got around to entering it? I would guess it was around 65lbs, but that is just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I've never obsessed over weights listed on GH-Data. Some kennels run their dogs heavier than others. The same dog running in one kennel might weigh more in another kennel. Unless you can find out enough about a kennel to know if they run their dogs rail thin or a bit meatier it's sort of a crapshoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
