h*lp Please help. I know some of you guys and gals are practically experts on food and ingredients.
My aunt has a 7 month old female cav who is an absolute HORSE. She is serious approaching the size of a cocker or even a springer! :yikes When my 2 are with her, she completely dwarfs them, not in stature, but in width. My 2 are both a year old and have been holding steady at a respectable 12 & 15 lbs. Gabbye (my aunt's dog) has to be well over 20 lbs and is just barely 7 months old. I have been in touch with my aunt's breeder and her mom is 13lbs and dad is 14lbs. I am concerned about what is in her food. I need tips/help/suggestions because I am worried about this little girl becoming severely obese!
This is the food and ingredients that she is on:
