Any greyhound owners?

[EdT]

Hi PH.. we've 2 lovely greyhounds, and very happy ownership.
I always used to think they stayed skinny thanks to an amazing metabolism, now a few years on I think they just crap a LOT... like 1 kg in the mouth = 0.9kg out the other end. They're getting on a bit, and looking a wee bit skinny I think. We know slim & ribby is correct for the bread, now the chap is a bit spiny, so like to up their weights by a 1 kilo or so. Thing is, it seems if I feed them more, they just crap more.. pointless. They're both on high grade kibble (used to feed raw, but chap didnt always get on with it)
Any seasoned owners have any thoughts?

We have a greyhound. I was told it comes down to the carb / protein mix in the kibble.

We go for a 50 / 50 mix where as a lot of people tend to go with a higher protein diet. As they’re not training they don’t need all the protein.

What ratio are you feeding him?

I may switch him to 60/40 for a bit as he has been injured and is getting a bit .. tubby. We can only see 2 ribs and not the 3-4.

They've been on Millie Woolfheart's 'Endurance mix' for a while, but we've just ordered their 'Forerunner' kibble based on their advice now.

We use Millie's too, Agility mix (50/50) with the wet as a topper, ours is 5 years old and was fine until he had 6-8 weeks off for injuries. I am considering switching him to Highland (60/40) for the next few months. But I'll ring them first, they are very helpful.
