After all of the negativity that I have been reading about Bil Jac Dog Food and the weight gain on your animals I just felt I had to jump in with my opinion.  First of all, Bil Jac is probably one of the best dog foods available, if not the best.  I raise and show dogs and have done so now for 44 years.  In that time I have had the opportunity to try many dog foods.  I started feeding Bil Jac Fresh Frozen in 1968 and I was getting it delivered to my home.  Bil Jac was on a smaller scale then and I was able to learn a lot from the Kellys themselves right down to the people who made the deliveries. In the eighties I opened a full line pet store along with a grooming shop and sold many different brands of dog foods.  They all had their story about why their's was the best.  In the end my choice was Bil Jac.  When Bil Jac first came out with their dry dog food in the mid eighties I was asked if I would raise two litters of show puppies, one on Bil Jac dry puppy food and the other on another brand of my choice.  Bil Jac provided free dog food to me for my pups for this experiment.  After six months there was a definite difference in my two litters.  The Bil Jac puppies had better bodies (muscle tone and feel) and the Bil Jac pups had gorgeous shiny thick coats.  The other pups were still nice but there was a definite difference.  My preference is still the frozen dog food but for those who prefer a dry dog food I recommend Bil Jac as my first choice in dry kibble.  Don't forget, no one who fed Bil Jac lost a dog during the dog food scare a few years ago.  For the person who is having a problem with weight gain, the answer is simple, cut down on what you are feeding.  I had one dog with an autoimmune disease that went up to 80 pounds (she was 55 pounds at her good weight). She was on prednisone for a year and gained a lot of weight.  I brought her back down to 55 pounds feeding Bil Jac frozen. At seven years old she is still eating Bil Jac frozen and is still 55 pounds. Just reduce what you are feeding.  I feed two times a day, dividing the daily total between two meals.  Look at the bag and feed according to what you should be feeding for the weight you want you dog to be (not the weight she is, or you will just keep her overweight). And use a measuring cup. For those of you concerned about bloat and torsion do this little test.  Drop one piece of Bil Jac dry into water and one piece of another dog food into water.  The Bil Jac will break down and the other one will suck up the water and enlarge.  If your dog drinks water after eating the other type of kibble and the kibble sucks up all that water and enlarges you may very well have a bloat problem.   I am very cautious with this as my breed is prone to bloat and tortion.  So far I have been lucky and have not had a problem with this.  Feeding Bil Jac is just one of the precautions I take in preventing bloat and tortion.
