Some doggies are just meant to be more slim. My Tiki is that way, and her vet says it is not a bad thing at all, and that he prefers to see them this way than overweight. |
He's very skinny & the vet agreed that he needs to gain weight. His hip bones & ribs are VERY prominent.
I think I'll try the nutrical in addition to cheese & pb. Thanks!
