I am not concerned with the numbers but moreso how their weight fits them. You don't want them too fat or too skinny. My first vet was too concerned with keeping my dog at 5 pounds. He was so active and started stealing food. If I yelled at him, he would grab a hugh mouthfull (really digging into the bowl) and runaway with it! To me, this says he wasn't getting enough to eat. So I increased his ration and he was alot happier. His main problem now is treats. He loves treats. When he eats too many, he will put on too much weight. Maybe this can work for Thor?
Also, I use Alaskan Salmon oil (Omega 3's & 6'S) and coconut products oil& milk to diet and hair products with coconut oil in them, for his coat.

what is that?
