Oh for goodness sake silly vet you can't go by whats on a chart.
Del's perfect weight was 33kg, Jerry Lee's is 40kg and I haven't a scooby what Jack's will be yet but I do know that he is lighter than a lot of sheps on here his age. The vet I saw last night said he looked fantastic. Mind you, she's not a fan of raw feeding so was rather put out when I told her why ;-)

And just you wait until he's past a certain age and you're trying to keep the weight off him to help with his crotchety old joints

I just find it so bizarre that pets weight/being overweight/obesity etc is such a big deal now and your vet wants what sounds like a very healthy dog to be heavier. tbh I was expecting you to reply and say s/he was about 90 odd or something lol

Well I only listen to my vet as far as it suits me tbh. They probably think I'm a right pain but nevermind, eh? lol
