Did the vet think he was too thin? I wasn't sure how to tell, and I asked my vet to give me a range for Joey's weight. There are some recipes that breeders use to put weight on a breeding male because an unneutered dog often loses weight if he's around females in season. However, it’s usually healthier to be on the thin side than the heavy side. I wouldn't add vegetables if I wanted a dog to gain weight, I added those when I wanted Joey to lose weight, veggies fill them up, but don't add many calories. You can make some beef liver or chicken treats, and they can be given after he eats his kibble. He's adorable, by the way. |
