Brent Lewis Webboard User Reg: 04-06-2007 Posts: 5 Loc: Clermont,FL Offline	I have a 2.5 year old male GSD, great dog, very fit. However it wouldnt hurt to add on a couple of pounds to him to help fill him out. Right now he weighs about 90#. Any ideas on a healthy way to put wieght on him to help fill him out? Any help on this would be great!

You could add more raw meat to the diet, in the form of RMBs (so as not to add a lot of muscle meat without bones and throw off the calcium-phosphorous ratio), including the fat.

Eric Eschmann Webboard User Reg: 06-15-2007 Posts: 162 Loc: Vero Beach, FL Offline	I also need to put more weight on my 2.5 Y.O. female GSD. She is given more food than she chooses to eat, so giving her more quanity is not an option. She is also spayed, but very active. Always looking for training avenues close to home. Any suggestions?

There's a members' intro section where you can do that, then we can get a look at his overall physique. Can you see more than his last two ribs? Howard http://www.spacecoasttactical.com

They'll be fine. Dropping dog food out of their diet wouldn't hurt, though;-). Couldn't help myself. It Seems that society equates love with food, and there's something wrong with a thin dog. I am constantly alerted to the fact that every one of my dogs is thin, or as they say, "too skinny." I respond "too skinny for what?" If your dogs are healthy, and are not losing weight for no apparent reason, leave 'em alone. As Howard said, 90# isn't exactly anorexic, even on a large dog.
