Dog not gaining weight - Page 2

lol stop, most dogs are too fat any way. If he dose not want any more it means he had enough. You worry about his weight when you can hardly see a one rib, I can see at least 2 (sometimes 3-4 depends on a day) on my dog. She is 9 months 55lb you can see evrysingle muscle in her body, less is better at that age.

The OP hasn't replied yet. Must not be too concerned.

Hi There,

I also have a GSD, who is thin.  He is the granson of Flip von Arlett, and also Erasmus van Noort.  There was a time when he wouldnt eat, but he is eating now but is still very thin.  I feed him on Italian dog food, Nuova Fattoria, its the only thing he likes! I try to give him an extra goblet full every night.   I used to cook him chicken as well, also liver and kidney but it didnt make any difference so i stopped.  He has been wormed, and has had a liquid parasite treatment.
He is very tall though at 68 or 69 cm, and has a rounded back?   He is very active and has alot of muscles, only muscles actually as ther is no fat what so ever!  His rib cage dosent look too bad but his backbone is very sharp.
He has been tested for all sorts of stuff, (cost a fortune too)  but all is ok.  I think its just that he is to active. 
What else could i try?  Some people say he is a great dog and others say he is horrible, its really quite hurtful at times, because i love him to bits.  He is very alert, and has the most beautiful eyes.
Should i give him a vitamin supplement?  Also what is the name of the author of the book - Real food for dogs?

Don't give him nothing else, you dog "likes only one kind of food" because you are mixing too much, my dog will eat whatever I'll serve and if she dosen't like life is tough oh well. Thin is good, people that say you dog looks horible most likely like only fat dogs lol ;) if you have quite few that say he looks fine it means he is fine, most people over feed their dogs, very few underfeed. Dog will not starve himself to death.
