[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 78340, member: 1049"] Hi Bez, Nothing retains and helps put on weight more than oatmeal added to the dog food. 4 cups [b]per meal [/b]for a 50-60 lb dog. Pasta ( I prefer Ziti ) added to the dog food at 1/2 lb per feeding. Cook up a full box and split it between 2 meals/ Dinty Moore stew is a quick appetite enhancer and also helps to retain weight on thin dogs--added to their dry food. Slowly incorporate into their regular meals. Stay away from gravies--they cause digestive upset--same as lard, butter and other too fatty foods. Milk is not benificial for dogs over the age of 8 weeks of age--most milk causes digestive upsets in adult dogs and is counter productive in trying to get them to GAIN weight. Dogs will eat most anything, but it doens't mean it is healthy or safe for them. A premium dog food will help your dog.--- without all the added junk that other dog foods have. It will cost about $1.00/lb--but you certainly feed alot less because 1 cup is so calorie dense with QUALITY ingredients. Instead of feeding 6-7 cups of your low quality dog food/twice a day, you would feed just one cup twice a day. Big difference. And... alot less to pick up outside, because the dog is really absorbing the ingredients.. and not "borrowing " the food. Such as dog foods with corn and other "filler" ingredients. Which dry food are you feeding now ? Make sure your dog food does not have CORN in the ingredients or "by products", etc. Generally, if you buy cheap/poor dog food ( Old Roy, etc ) you will be spending more $$ at the vets with ear infections, dry skin, digestive upsets and lots of other things. The past 20 years I have done foster care for hundreds of rescue and shelter dogs-- of every breed, age, temperment and size-- and have learned what works and what doesn't. ( still learning ~! ) Oatmeal and ziti --added to quality dog food---have given the quicker results for the many 4 legged "guests" here. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
