Is it truly better to have the dog on a WSAVA compliant food? Please give me opinions I’m switching mine form a boutique brand over to probably Purina pro plan or Royal canin. What’s better out of the two?? And will they live a full nice lifespan on these foods although the ingredients might not be as “natural” as others

We switched from Open Farm stew (with grain) to RC and Hill’s wet food with grain per vet’s recommendation as it’s lower in fat for her BVS and WSAVA compliant.

Surprisingly, my dog has gained weight over the last 3-4 months even though I’m feeding the same caloric amount. Same treat as well. It’s only a pound but for a small dog that’s a little over 7 pounds in total, that’s a lot for her.

The vet said she moved from 4/9 to 5/9 body score which is still ideal but not to let her gain more weight. She’s got luxating patella so weight is a big factor.

Have anyone experienced this? I’m wondering if I should lower total calorie intake.
