I've decided that Lana is just too skinny. A while back I posted a thread when I wasnt sure , but now I am. She is just so active, she burns everything off. I was feeding her just dry, then i was feeding her dry and wet Merricks food, she did great on that. But that food is just to expensive, so I have to switch to something else. Anyway I stoppped giving her wet and now she looks really skinny and you can feel her ribs and other bones. Im not sure if I should increase her amount of food, she eats two times a day. Or should I feed her 3-4 meals a day, since she has such a fast matabolism? Im just not sure on the right way to fatten her up a bit, I want to make sure I do it in a healthy way. So any input is appreciated! Thanks.

How much are you feeding her 2 times a day?? Try to increase that and if that doesn't work then feed her 3 times a day, breakfast lunch and dinner. I really don't know but that is what I would do if I didn't free feed. I'm sure others will have better advise.

You might want to feed more than a cup....Oscar eats 6.5 cups a day. Two cups just doesn't seem like enough. You should also try Satin Balls. It like meat loaf for dogs. It makes them gain weight pretty fast. Here is a link for some recipes. It shows different size recipes. http://essiac-info.org/Pets/satinball.html

I had the same problem with trinity there for a while. I think it would be best to slowly increase the amount of food. Maybe not feeding her more times a day but maybe in the morning give her 2 scoops and in the evening just give her the usually amount.

Puppy kibble is a bit richer than other.
I have fed "Authority" [PetSmart's brand] for a month with no bad results. The label is near same to Nature's Recipe. Last time I went, I paid $20. for #40lbs. Nature's Recipe is $35+, for same...
Be careful. There are 2 puppy kibble labels[both are Authority brand], The one I use, and approve, so far, is in a pink bag, the other puppy kibble was below my standard.
