mosa Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 unusual request but my cocker dog is a lot thinner than my bitch (been to vet but all ok) he stated to possibly change food. I currently use cheap chicken nuggets can anyone suggest a dog food type dry that should increase his weight if that is at all possible cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Half the battle is getting them to eat more. Mine is on Dr Johns gold with half a tin of wet meat and fed ad lib so she has food down most of the time. This time of season if yours does much work its not unusual to loose some weight and being on the thin side is definitely better for them.in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siberian Tiger Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Any form of raw food. Additional tripe packs work really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
working dog Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Agree with tripe. Meaty lamb ribs are also good for putting weight on. The thing I find with feeding raw is that the dogs look leaner as their stomach isnt bulked out with grain as with some dry foods which is no bad thing.

vulpicide Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 You will also note less waste coming out of the dog as its body processes the food it has evolved to eat more efficently plus ifyou feed raw meat with bone cartilege connective tissue etc this is how the dog absorbs things like glucosamine naturally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundowner Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Tripe tripe and more tripe, for as long as you can get it and as much as the dog will eat! Handy to have a pal in an abatoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
