I understand what you're talking about. I've never used the feed you're using, but if i feed a dog food that's high in protein and fat in the summer, my dogs get overly hot too. I've argued with friends over the years about this. They say they feed the same feed year round, but feed less during the hot months. I've had better luck by going to a feed that has less protein and fat in the hot months. Seems like to me that the dogs don't get near as hot. They may drop alittle weight, but seem to handle the heat better. I use something that's like 22 and 12.

the Calibre Sport 24/20 is good feed. I fed it for several years. Never had any issues with it.

That's cool heckler,I do like the feed & wish it were a lil closer to me...I was just thinking I may need to lower the protein/fat content in the summer months....
