Dog's weight need help.
I have a young Plott coming 2 seems to be a little lite on weight how can I get more weight on him? He's worm free.

I'm going to up the feed on this dog to see if that helps, he acts healthy just under weight!
Some dogs have a natural light ideal weight and if you can put on a little weight it will just come right back off really fast

Try adding some cream and eggs to his feed. Some dogs just have a higher metabolic rate and will not get fat no matter the feed. Dog could have a thyroid problem, overactive thyroid can cause or make gaining weight impossible. Dave

Thanks, trying some olive oil on his food and feeding him 2 times a day.
Putting weight on
I always had luck with feeding a high fat dry dog food and adding a can of Mackerel 2X a week for about a month.
Good Luck
Tim

Tim is correct on this. The mackerel will add it on. I always did a half can morning and night every other day. Works good!!

If youre just looking to add weight, cook up some pasta (macaroni or shells) and mix a couple of cups of that with his dog food. That will put weight on quickly. How ever, if youre hunting the dog hard that wont do the job.
If youre hunting him hare you likely need to be feeding a higher grade of dog food. Purina Pro Plan was always a good one when I was hunting 4-6 nights a week. There are a number of really good foods out there but your going to pay more for them.

Lol. Donald, pasta is a slow metabolic food giving longer lasting energy over a long time frame. How many marathon runners have you ever seen that were fat? Dave
