He is on Oscars gluten free and seems to be fine - I've always had spaniels but I suppose we have always had bitches which we then had spayed so the weight went on rather than off!!

I've had many anorexic Border Collies and Kelpies over the years. Age does help them, but some are just horrible to keep weight on. Was very embarrassed when I had one eat a rubber fitting once and had to take her to the vet... and was accused of starving my dogs. If they are nervous types, even more of a challenge... have heard good things about duck and rice kibble too. Good luck!

had him over the weekend - he does not sit still and walked miles. Now having ultra-sensitive feed three times a day + yoghurt and at least not losing. I bought them a raw food pack for one month but they haven't tried it yet so I'll step back from this one!

Doing some really challenging training can help wear them out mentally and reduce the hyper running around.
For my dog I've recently found either royal canin senior or Burns Working dog food both help my old and fussy boy keep his weight on without making him hyper. Ultimately, both are very calorie dense so he gets more calories from a smaller quantity as he tends to lose interest if given a lot of food at once. I'm also having more luck feeding 3x daily when I can.
