Hiya everyone

Hiya guys,
My name is Phil, and me and my family are getting our first Staffy who is a rescue dog tomorrow.
I have had dogs all my life but she will be our first Staff.
She is painfully thin and a very gentle natured dog. The home seem to think she is between 2 and 3 yrs.
Any advice on diet to get her built back up would be appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read this
Regards
Phil

Welcome a good quality dry kibble should build her up also chicken and oily fish mixed into the dry food will be good

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

If you are feeding dry kibble choose one with a high protein content to get her built up again, any from the list below should be fine, Rocky would recommend the Barking Heads, that's what he has:

Hi! Janey is totally right, in no time she will be built up and looking fantastic!

A decent quality dry food goes along way. I have a great butcher in my town that makes a great mince for dogs which my boy loves. Pop into your local butcher and see if he does anything similar.

I always have a lot of fresh veg from my work. Boiled/mashed potatoes are great to bulk up a meal without overloading on calories. I know personally I feel better with a full belly!

I always put a tablespoon of olive oil in with Logans food. It's great for many different things, just like it's great in our own diets. It will help her put on a few pounds and it makes boring dry food taste great!

Hi and a big welcome from Kia and me

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
Picking Jess up today so I'll post some pics later

Welcome

Don't stress too much on putting weight on her, just make sure she has some good quality food, plenty of exercise & loads of love & attention & she'll be a star!
