Re: putting weight on?
Have you noticed that she's grown taller at all recently?
Bane kept having growth spurts around that age so once we'd get him looking healthy, he'd shoot up again and look skinny. We just upped his food a little. We tried to stick to what was suggested on the bag, but it just wasnt enough for him. Is she eating ok?
For worming we get them free from the vets as part of his 6 month puppy package thing, I think Bane is on Program Plus? It's for worms and fleas...he seems to be fine on them (had terrible worms when we first got him) but would be interested in what others with more experience suggest I'll sit and wait with ya!

Re: putting weight on?
What does she weigh, I use drontal every 3 months but you'll have to do beau more often as she's a baby

Re: putting weight on?
At 21lb she's 9.5 kgs at 13 weeks I'd say that's ok, as bane says above they go through growth spurts and this can make them look a little thin. If your really concerned I'd get her checked out, but I use drontal ordered online is cheaper than vets, I've had no problems with it

Ye I am sure Bane was about that. They all grow at different rates, but don't start to fill out properly until they get a bit older.
Hayley: Will have a look at that thanks

My banes was 8.5kg at 14 weeks. I judge by his waist, I can just see his last rib and feel his if I smooth him. They change shape all the time while there pups.

Have a word with the vet next time you are in there. We use worming treatment every three months but Rocky is an adult dog puppy should be done more regularly.

We worm and have always wormed Bane once every 4 weeks He started on 1 tablet, but as he put on weight, he now has to have 2 so check the dosage according to her weight.
