Roxy is 8.5 months and TJ is 6.5 months, they both weigh about 3.5 lbs. I too think my guys are a little skinny. I bring TJ to Vet on Friday for his neuter appt, so I will see if he has gained any more weight and see what the Vet thinks about hi scurrent weight.
I free feed them Innova Dry for Puppies. It is one of the best dry for for dogs, but whatever you do, slowly introduce a new healthy puppy food to avoid an upset tummy and mushy poops.
I was giving my guys honey nut cherrios as potty rewards and some frozen apple bits (for just because :-) BUT I AM STOPPING. They do not need it and it is TOO MUCH SUGAR. TJ has a sensitive tummy and I think these extra sugar treats are giving him irregular poops, SO NO MORE. They are going to be eating strictly healthy dog food and treats and I hope this will work best for them.
GOOD LUCK!
