Shaq is now at 93 lbs. His vet would like him to be about 80 lbs. I tried switching him to a low fat chicken and rice diet but it made him itch all the time. He started eating Pro Pac Performance Puppy and at 1 year we switched to Pro Pac Lamb & Rice. I will paste the work-up on the food and I am looking for imput. His coat is beautiful right now, no itching, no infections of any kind, just overweight. He gets exercised every day, twice a day by a 13 y/o and a 15y/o. (they have endless energy that also needs to be burned) He does get table food occasionally, but not on a regualr basis. He does not care too much for carrots or other vegs. Here's the info on food and please give me some opinions. Thanks!
