Hi everyone,

I’m getting a bit worried because my little Staffy girl is 6 months old and already stands 39 cm tall and weighs 14.5 kg (about 32 lbs or 2 stone 4 lbs).

Ever since she was a pup, she’s been on 300g of Royal Canin Junior, which I buy from the vet because she had a sensitive stomach with other dry food.

Given her weight gain, I tried cutting her back to 230g, but it just led to her scavenging from the other bowls... she’s hungry.

I’ve just put her back up to 300g (split into two 150g meals) of a mix of adult and puppy dry food (90% junior - 10% adult).

Is she looking a bit too chunky? I’ve added some photos taken from above...

What should I do? Thanks for your help!

Here are the photos:

Lots of people ask about food for dogs with allergies, and in my experience, the best approach is a bit of trial and error combined with looking for high-quality ingredients. It took us ages to find the right option, but since the switch, the scratching and tummy issues have really settled down. One type of brand worth looking into is a high-quality, natural pet food range.
