a little thin

hi folks sits been a while since ive been on ...

i took the advice to changing lexys food to wainwrights which she seems to be really enjoying at the moment however ive notices she is a little thinner than normal but mind she has not ate yet. she is very muscular on the other hand but would it hurt to try put a little wainwrights wet food in with it to put a little meat to her bones ???

please help i just a little worried in case she is not eating enough (2 bowls a day) some times 3

thanks in advance

A little wet food won't hurt her any if you feel she is too thin. It's not as nutritionaly complete as the dry food though. You could also try a little egg or sardine oil on top of the food to get her to eat more as well

just cook the eggs mate yea ???

Raw or cooked are both fine. Here's a link with some better information on the subject

thanks bro thats helps alot

No problem, when adjusting the diet just remember they tend to grow moslty in height the first year so they can look a little lanky or thin at times. They grow in width and muscle over the next two years so it usually balances itself out.

Yep darcy is nearly 10 months and looking all gangly, we add raw egg and sometimes a little sardines to her kibble, she also has a teaspoon of salmon oil on her kibble.

We use sardines/wet food as mine is a little picky, would love to see some pics of Lexy

We add a little cooked cooled chicken to Rocky kibble sometimes, he usually eats it all up no problems though. Sardines are great for their coat condition too.

If she's enjoying her food I wouldn't add any wet food to it, I'd just increase the quantity of dry if you feel she's too thin.

Mind you, better a little thin than fat!

Rupert eats raw food and really likes it (although, to be honest, I think he would eat anything). He burns so much energy that he will put on or lose weight very quickly depending on how much I feed him so I adjust accordingly.

I also give him leftovers like sweet potato (good for tummy, apparently), fat and skin from meat, peas sometimes, pasta... yes, and agree with egg - def builds him up.

raw egg inhibits nutriant uptake so be carefull with that, well the white does yolk is fine for a good hit of protein. seperate where possible and give less white as possible.
