I adopted a 2 year old Harlequin Great Dane from the SPCA in April. He was very underweight at the time, and has since made a slight improvement. I am concerned because I have him up to 8 cups of food a day and he isn't gaining any weight. The extra food moves right through him and doesn't stick. He is currently on Nutro Large Breed Adult. I put him on Innova Adult when I got him but changed for the same reason stated above. He is fairly active and I know he's still growing. I just want to make sure he's healthy.

Does anyone have suggestions about a good food that will help him gain weight? I prefer to stick to strictly dry dog food, though I'm willing to try just about anything now.

I appreciate any recommendations or comments.

Thanks!

Hi!

I just have a question first. Have you taken your dog to the vet for a thorough checkup? If not, I'd do it right away. Even if you have, I think I'd take in a stool sample and make sure your dog hasn't picked up any worms since then.

Dogs come into our lives, and too quickly go leaving pawprints on our hearts, and we will never be quite the same again.
