Beat Way Increase Hounds Weight
Permalink Closed

Hi Everyone,


Trei my foster dog is a bit underweight - this been due to all his change of homes etc  He has also had a slight urinary tract / kidney  infection.


Poor boy is not looking his best as his thick kennel coat is finally coming out in lumps.  Brush him every day at mo - he will be relieved in this warmer weather


He gets more Autarky  than my other dogs  Mick, Snap and Cleo who are all about the right weight.


Should I give a mid day meal as well!     Sugguestions please!


Charles


ps I know weight of the dogs can be a bit subjective - but I have read that ideally the last 2 ribs should show slightly

Hi Charles,


             What about feeding raw diet.  I've been feeding this way for years and found all dogs tend to put on weight with it, --- surprising how little you actually need to feed once you get the balance right.  If you dont know a friendly butcher then our van is in the west end every day and if you pm me could probably help you out with some goodies for Trei.

Yip,


I'll consider that  - I find that when I increase food  / change food type get a bit of   upset.
