Default Weight issue

We adopted Ziva a 4 yr old that was overweight two months ago and had her on SD/RD and she lost 7lbs. but we don't want to keep her on SD and have put her on BB Wilderness Healthy Weight food and are wanting to know if anyone uses this and if it has worked for their sheltie? She still needs to lose 6 more pounds and walks twice a day and gets 3/4 cup with green beans.
Thanks for any help.

First, how much does your pup weigh now? Are you feeding 3/4 cup twice a day or is that the total for a whole day? My four get 1/4 cup twice daily and that's maintenance. You may need to cut back the food a bit. You can add some frozen green beans to help fill them up. Mine love them!

Great question, Ann.

And just so the OP doesn't think Ann is stingy, both of my dogs get 1/4 C 2x a day, too, maintenance.
