I rescued a springer spaniel mix (I actually think he might be a brittany mix) a few months ago, and my cousin mentioned he would look after the dog when I'm out of town. He has a boxer, and we've discussed things like dog training and feeding before.
I went on a 10 day trip a couple weeks ago, and when I dropped off my dog I gave my cousin a 15 lb bag of Wellness (way more than what he needed). When I got back, my dog had visibly gained a lot of weight (maybe 5 lbs - when he was weighed last he was 37 lbs. He might have been a little on the skinny side before but now you have to really try to feel his ribs) and my cousin said, "Oh I don't know how long that food was supposed to last but it's all gone. The dogs ate it all. I think he looks better!"
I was livid.
My dog was pretty lethargic and gassy yesterday and pooped a lot (gee I wonder why). I've decided to cut back on what I was feeding him but anyone know how long it might take for him to get back to a normal weight?
