Hi Everyone,

Thanks so much for your replies. I think I will try the Satiety diet and see how we get on. Will also mention it to her vet that maybe some underlying problem mught be causing the lack of weight loss and begging. Thanks again, great to know that there is such a great support network out there

Just a thought but has the dog been on long term preds? Just worth considering cushings or underlying cause of weight gain/increased appetite if she has. As i said just i thought could be on completely the wrong track but always worth considering.

I had a springer on preds who i managed to get to loose quite a lot of weight. As mentioned before I used the royal canin satiety support and the owners were very impressed with this. Now she is at her target weight i am maintaining her on rcw adult lifestage food, although she actually scavenges more on this so i am considering putting them back on satiety for maintenenance. It definately is possible!!

What about trying RCW Satiety diet? It's more filling than other weight loss foods and works well with dogs who are constantly hungry and place some of the ration into Kongs/Buster cubes to keep mobile.

Poor old long term Preds dogs, they do have a rough time!
