    Burns high oats all the way, we've had great results at our practice with this and myself too with my overweight staffy (always on the scrounge). Just remember to feed to the weight you want them at, not the weight they are. ;-)

    Thanks but as I said before - Burns did not agree with Zara.

    She likes Atkary LIght (salmon) but she pooed 5 times today so far - normal poo but so much of it and so often, 3 times on one walk.. Hmmmm

    Light/mature foods tend to be bulked out with cereals, and these ingredients are generally poorly digested. It's why you can feed more of it without the dog gaining as much weight as on the non-light equivelant.
    Ingredients: Salmon, rice, oats, maize, unmolassed beet pulp, chicken meal, potato, peas, alfalfa, dicalcium phosphate, full fat linseed, yeast, carrot, charcoal, glucosamine, milk thistle, seaweed, nettle, marigold, blackcurrant extract, yucca extract, thyme, beetroot, tomato, peppermint, fennel, paprika, turmeric, dandelion, ginger, fenugreek, rosemary extract, oregano & aloe vera
