If your vet thinks he's too thin, there are "treats" that you can add that will fatten him up in no time, if you want to keep him on the same diet. Some people add a little cottage cheese or egg yolk to their diet, peanut butter is also high and calories, and just a little bit can add much needed calories.
Yes my vet said he is under weight and he was the one that recommended keeping him on the puppy food. I spoke with my vet about 2-3 months ago and he hasn't gained any weight since so I am looking for alternatives. Thank you very much for your input. I will defiantly try the cottage cheese and/ or egg yolk.
