QUESTION: hello  ,  

hv been suffering for years :D    , my dog is german shepherd he is gettin very slim he is 8 years old  ,i wish i could know how to help him to put on weight   as he doesnt eat complete meals , i tried several supplements  but invain  , the vet said it is his nature  , but he is really very slim  .
is there a diet  or way or  types  of food that he will like and at the same time help him 2 put on weight  ?

thankss

ANSWER: Hi Ahmed,

I'd like to be able to help here but I do need some moe information. What type of food are you uisng? What brands are available where you live? In all likelihood a home made diet is going to be most helpful - is it possible for you to  prepare his meals yourself? I can help you with some ideas for home made diet but please let me know what you have been feeding, and we can go from there.
All the best,
Catherine

Answer
Hi Ahmed,

My best advice to you is to look into a consultation with me, and I can calculate all his requirements, for fat, protein, vitamins, minerals and energy, and develop home made diets for your dog. I'd use rice instead of bread, plus sweet potato or squash, some fish, liver and so on aside from chicken. The multi will not make up for the nutritional inadeqacy of what you are feeding. I would love to just develop a diet for free but its' hours of work and it's what I do for a living. If you want to discuss this some more, my information is at www.thepossiblecanine.com.
I can help you, but we need more time than I can volunteer at AlLExperts.
All the best, Catheirne
