Skinny pup

Hi I have a staffy pup I've had her for a week now but she is very skinny how can I fatten her up a little I have her on canned puppy food at the minute , I got her from a rescue centre they said she was on perina dried puppy food but when I got her home she wouldn't touch it , her stools are still loose can anyone give me any ideas what would be best for her

How often a day are you feeding her? And what brand is the tinned puppy food?

She's been on butchers puppy food and I'm feeding twice a day

Ok at her age she should be having at least 3/4 meals a day and butchers is really awful food full of fillers and additives. I think the change in food will be the cause of the loose poops. I'd switch back to dry food, maybe James well beloved or wainwrights, there are lots of good mid priced food out there, if she's not eating the dry you could try adding a little water to it to soften it

For putting weight on i'd really recommend nature diet, I always fed it to my skinny dogs in kennels. There's a puppy variety. I order from berrywoods wholesaler online, but you can get it in pets at home. I agree, I'd be feeding 3 times a day, four if you want to get weight on!

Thanks for your replies I've been out and brought some James well beloved lamb and rice also a couple of packets of the wet food so I can mix it up with just a spoonful

I used to feed jwb before I switched to raw and Daisy did well on it   

Aww that's great news, let us know how you get on xx

I hope pup likes the new food! Bane was under weight and it took us a few months to get him looking healthy as he had so many growth spurts! We fed him 4 times a day to keep his energy up and reduce any possibility of bloat and fed just over the recommended amount for his age.
