Dog / Mix - Answered 1026 days ago
hello. so my dog is an almost 2 years old, chihuahua mixed breed. he doesn't have worms or any health problems at least according to 4 vets i took him to. the problem is that he is very skinny (4kg). he doesn't eat a lot but on most days he eats all of his 3 meals (i give him cheese, a mix of chicken thighs + pumpkin + rice or boiled potato, sometimes i give him human food because he is a picky eater and gets fed up with the same taste) the problem is that he never gains weight and i'm worried about him. i keep thinking maybe his body is not able to digest nutrients? for the past week or so i started giving him supplements for dogs (calcium in the morning then a multivitamin + iron later on) but i see no progress and i'm very worried. please help me

You should try out some other types of feed formular. The best formulas of dog food to gain weight have high levels of calories and protein. Consider switching to a dog food like Purina ONE® SmartBlend® True Instinct Nutrient-Dense Adult Formulas, which have 30% protein, 17% fat and real meat as the #1 ingredient. You could also visit your vet to check If nothing is wrong as an underlying problem..
