| If you feel every bone. Mix here kibble with good foods. No seasoned cooked meat like check. Mix hard boiled eggs. They love Peanut butter but good kinds not the sugar..but probably doesn't matter. True some does don't eat much just what she does eat add more calories to it. |

| I had trouble putting weight on my boys too. If I upped their kibble, they would just poo more. I talked to the vet about it, and she suggested adding more wet food to their meals. I went from adding 1 ice cube of Weruva to 2, and they slowly gained to where they look and feel perfect. Now I just do the 2 cubes in summer when they are getting outside more and that's when they tend to lose the weight. |

| My zoey will be 2 soon and has been known to be a picky eater. That is until I put her on Natures Variety kibble....now shes at the height of her weight scale and I had to put her on the healthy weight one! So far she's not losing , but maintaining......and is very active ..and eating the proper amount....😱 |

| Senior Yorkie Talker | I have the same problem with my little Jack. He's had blood work done, all good, thank God! So it is a matter of getting him to gobble up a bit more. So the vet said to sprinkle Probiotics to his kibble. That really turned Jack onto eating, but he seems to get bored easily with his food. I have to mix it up abit and I give him some good "treats" chicken, cheese, peanut butter, etc. in small amounts. I watch to make sure his main food is the kibble, I want him to get the benefit of the balance it brings. I have been using a secondary kibble as a treat too. Also I measure out a small amount of Nutrical and he gets that daily as well. Vet said that would be ok too. My little stinker does prefer to be hand fed, I am so bent on getting him up to 4lbs so that he can be neutered, that I do that to encourage him to eat, but I sure wish he'd just eat out of his dish exclusively.
