Due to a change of diet one of my dog's lost weight. Any ideas of what I can 'temporarily' ADD to help build up her weight a little bit?
I'm worried by wheat products because of allergies etc. Also wary of foods containing additives and preservatives. Just wondered if there is something good and safe that I could add to her food for a short time?
Thanks,
Vixen

Try Satin Balls, look up in the message board for recipe and comments. Worked great on my girls and you make it yourself, so you know exactly whats going in. I add yogurt, pumpkin and potatoes to it as well.

Many thanks Vomveiderheiss,
I looked up that recipe and have printed it out. Sounds goods.
Grateful for the suggestion,

How about just giving her more food, rather than using supplement, at least that will not upset the balance of the nutrition.

The weight loss may be due to the composition of the new food - it may make sense adding more food to see if she improves with that...

You can try Prozyme, it is a natural plant extract that aids in the absorbtion of nutrients and essential fatty acids. It will help your dog get the most out of the food you are feeding as well as gain weight. It can also help with skin or digestive problems, lessen shedding and help with allergies as well as many other benefits. I feed it to my dogs and it works great.

Hi Laris and XOG,
I have temporarily swapped to a Complete Food, so it is because of the 'volume' that I would not wish to increase.
But thank you anyway.
