What if your dog is to skiny?

Answer 1

If you think your dog is too thin, such as ribs & hip bones showing then you need to take your pet to a Veterinarian for a check up. Bring a small sample of his or her feces too so the Vet can check for internal parasites.

What type of dog food are you feeding? You should be feeding a dry dog food as more calories in dry food than canned. The most important thing is to feed a good name dog food, not the cheap generic ones. Check out the label on the dog food bag and you want to see things like several sources of meat, like lamb or lamb meal, chicken or chicken meal, NOT "By Products" as that is the source of crappy meat such as beaks, feet, etc. You also do not want to see Wheat, beet pulp, corn, just to name a few. A good brand to feed is Innova, Natural Choice, Candiae (sp?).

Make sure to take your dog to your Veterinarian for a good check up, can discuss other things then too such as vaccines, Heart Worm prevention, External parasite protection, etc.
