weight loss skinny switch
I have a German Shepherd adult male with food allergies.?
Any advice would be appreciated. He is also skinny and won't gain weight. My vet said his weight is fine but you can see his bones and I hate it!
His coat has gotten thin and he looks bad.
I had him on lamb and rice but he is not getting better.
I just switched him to Tast of the Wild a holistic fomula and hope it will help.
I give him 1 tsp of cod liver oil per day. I give him no soy or wheat.
what else can I do for him?
I am usually the one that can answer most dog questions on here but I am at loss as what else to do for my boy. help.
He was eating a RAW diet with Raw chicken thighs, peas, carrots, spinach, eggs, fish oil but it was too expensive at this time for me to continue feeding him that way. so, i tried a holistic food..Taste of the wild. he was on nutro max lamb and rice but i switched him to the new stuff today. $43 bucks a bag...
Has this dog been tested for EPI? This condition is not uncommon in GSD and can cause problems due to non- or mal-absorption of food. The results can be weight loss, growth disorders, greasy or brittle coat and huge, stinky poos.

Many dogs with digestive issues do much better on a raw diet of meat, meaty bones and organs as they are much more readily digested than cooked meats and grains.
chula lula - you'd be better off googling raw meaty bones, species appropriate raw food (SARF) or prey model than BARF. If you read the first article as well as the myths one you will see why fruit and vegetables aren't necessary or even digestible!!
