Pedigree Dog Food Weight Loss

whats the difference between iams and pedigree?

i fed all my pitbulls iams then switched to pedigree, when on iams they loss weight. so a friend who breeds them told me to try pedigree i did. pedigree thickend his bones, and gave him alot of muscle tone with exercise.(on iams they constantly loss weight–ALL–of them.) can anyone tell me the cause of this….and is beniful a good dog food for pitbulls(like show/champion).

I feed my pit Iams (I let her free-feed on the large breed puppy, she’s 1 1/2 yrs old) and she’s right where she needs to be on weight (you can feel her ribs when you run your hand down her side, but not see them, and her stomache is recessed in comparison to her chest along the bottom). Be very careful about who you accept advice from on pits and weight. My Tater is tall for the breed, and about 15 lbs over what the average female weighs (she weighs 60lbs even). There are pit owners out there who want their dogs to be bulky and muscle-bound, but unless you have a champion weight puller, you’re doing the dog a disservice attempting to “bulk up”, like people who use weights or heavy logging chains for tie-outs or leashes….it’s completely unneccessary, a good lead will keep your pooch under control…people use the weights to beef up their pet’s muscle. Pits should be chosen as pets for people who want the best friend they’ve ever had, not someone who wants a big scary dog to scare people or protect their property. I look at dogs the same way I look at people, ignore what the scale says; do they look healthy? are they proportionally figured? are they happy and active? As far as dog food goes, Iams, Nutro, and Science Diet are some very good foods, but pick a brand and stick with it, dogs don’t need variety when they’re eating a quality food.
