Can anyone recommend a good, healthy, weight management dog food?


My dog is a porker and she has been her whole life and I have been trying so hard to make her lose a few. I have been walking her daily for about half an hour to 45 minutes, she is on a mixture of two differant weight management foods (I only mixed becasue i thought she might have been tired of her regular food), she only gets two bowls of food a day. So if you know of any healthy weight control foods that would be great.
Oh and she's a black lab/border collie <3

my dog (the black one in my avatar) is part border collie with maybe lab or setter or something else big. I agree with upping the walk time. bc's like a job like frisbee catching and the lab in him would love to swim, which are both healthy exercises.
this may sound stupid but why don't you just feed a little less?

Foods to avoid: Pedigree, Beneful, Purina, Iams, Nutro, Alpo, Ol Roy, Mighty Dog, Ceser, Eukanuba, Bil-Jac, Diamond, Science Diet, Purina, Royal Canin, Eagle Pack (not to be confused with Eagle Pack Holistic) and of course all grocery store brands of dog food!

Quality dog foods: Innova, California Natural, EVO, Karma, Wellness, Wellness Core, Orijen, Canidae, Merricks, Artemis, Taste of the Wild, Nature's Variety, Eagle Pack Holistic, Pinnacle, Avoderm, Solid Gold-Barking at the Moon, Go!, Now! and Timberwolf.

When you say 2 bowls of food a day--how much food is that? Along with finding a good food, and giving her more exercise, you'll have to carefully measure out the portions of food in a measuring cup. She'll look for more food, but if her health is important, stick to the right amounts. Her system will eventually acclimate to eating less food.

Wellness Healthy Weight is a good one.

I feed Wellness weight management. It keeps my less active dogs at a healthy weight. It also helped get the weight off my over weight dog.

I would certainly be increasing the walks though going on her breed to 45 minutes to an hour 2-3 times a day. I would also add some games of fetch or frisbee in the yard too.

Purina One Light

here is what the website says:

I think Eukanuba Veterinary Diet are a fine dog food. It is great for balancing weight, and is filled with nutrition, and things your dogs will lover.

i like the science diet or iams the best


ive tried everything and those two were my favorites
