    I answered that above. I also posted about this on Facebook. He said he read my post here and on FB, and private messaged me. šŸ™‚

    However, how or why someone contacted me, or where, or if there are vets reading posts here, is really not the topic of my situation. I donā€™t mean to be rude, but if Iā€™d known it was going to be a big deal, I would not have mentioned it.

    Never mind I answered my own question. It already is grain-free.

    Another question ā€“

    When shopping for Wellness Core Reduced fat ā€“
    is it more important to get the Protein-focused, or the Grain free?

    Apparently so. I wasnā€™t looking for a vet though. Just advice from other dog parents.

    Actually only one was from here, I thought they both were. Both are also on Facebook. I posted on FB about this as well, and was contacted there.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Thank you everyone for your input.
    Dog_Obsessed, I will go look at that canned food tomorrow, thank you.

    Before the BBB, they were on Purina Dog Chow and Pedigree can. Tebow was fit and very active, no problems at ALL. Once I changed to BBB ā€“ I was told it was healthier, ha ā€“ and started feeding only once per day ā€“ is when he started gaining weight. He acts like he was hungry all the time. I guess he is. šŸ™

    Iā€™ll be looking at weight loss food tomorrow as well. 2 vets contacted me tonight from here and told me to drop BBB and go to Wellness Core, and to only put enough wet food in it to ā€œtasty it upā€. Other options they gave me were to brown up some fresh ground turkey, or scramble 1 egg each and mix with their dry food.

    theBCnut ā€“ yes his belly actually feels TIGHT. It doesnā€™t extend noticeably after eating. Itā€™s like that all the time.
    I should not have said his breathing is really labored. Itā€™s heavier than it used to be, and he snores, whereas he did not used to. Lady has always snored.

    I do have an appointment for him for a checkup and vaccinations in early January. Iā€™m hoping that these changes and increasing our walking a bit every day will help him. We could both lose some weight.

    Thanks everyone.
