Too thin!!!

[yorkiekist]

I keep mine on Chicken soup Puppy and Taste of the Wild. None of my dogs are thin except one and he gets oatmeal , noodles, anything high calorie. I have only been able to find these dog foods at feed stores, like the kind you buy horse feed at. I think you can go online and find out who carries these in your area.

will tell you that it depends on body structure
if they are thick boned and compact they look bigger
longer in body means leaner look so she may not be underweight


my cousin's boy was rail thin but the dr. said he was fine and she had a complete work up with heartworm and parasite testing and he has a clean bill of health.he was a very picky eater


THEN she started using missing link and his appetite picked up and now at close to 2 he is finally filling out nicely.

I'm not crazy about Science Diet but I know they have the Prescription Diet line and it probably works. Thats all the vet I used to work for sold. Puppy food might be another option since its really high in protein! My baby eats the Royal Canin Puppy #33. Just a thought! Hope you find a solution!

I think she does have that longer leaner look to her but you can feel her bones and see them too sometimes and that's why I think she's too thin. I just got a sample of chicken soup yesterday and so far, she seems to like it but she seems to get tired of the same thing but I'm keeping my fingers crossed....

You know Diesel is the very same way. When he is wet you can see a few bones. He has been on Innova and Canidae for a long time. Finally he turned his nose up at both of them. I went out and bought Chicken soup for adults day before yesterday. For the first time in a long time I actually saw him sit and eat! Normally he picks at his food. A bite here and a bite there. This seems to be working for him so we will see. I did go out and buy him some soft food ( Holistic Select by Eagle Pack) Normally soft food gives him the runs so I am going to do this VERY slowly and try it one more time. He loves to eat MY food. LOL Sometimes he will get chicken and rice and he just gobbles it down. I can't possible cook for him AND our German Shepherd. I would go broke just feeding our Shepherd food.
