Yesterday some people I was walking with down the park asked how much I feed
my very active five year old bully/blue heeler/ kelpie X Maizie & were
shocked at my answer. I give her a cup of dried biscuits & a table spoon of
canned food a day, both high energy food. She seems to be thriving on this
amount, gaining a couple of Kg each time I weigh her at the vets every three
months or so. Last time I weighed her, a couple of weeks ago she was 21Kg.

Admittedly Maiz does have a bad habit of raiding the pantry & bins as well
as being a doggy vacuum cleaner down the park, but I think she would do that
regardless of how much I fed her. The vet says she looks good, just the
right weight for her size & age, but atleast a couple of people down the
park have made remarks about her looking podgy... infact the people who were
shocked about how little I feed her all have podgy dogs, so maybe I
shouldn't worry about it Regardless, I might try leaving a cup of
biscuits for her in the morning as well as her usual amount for dinner...
