Her body is a lot like my pup's. I am always worrying that mine is too skinny too, but the vets have assured me that she is just fine. If your pup is like mine, one day she looks thin and the next day she looks like she is starting to bulk up a little.
Yeah after my fiance and i picked her up we were driving over a pass on the way home. And i looked out the window And saw some sage brush and said hey! What about sage?? It fits her perfect
I think everyone who never owned a GSD before think that their puppies are skinny including me She is not skinnny. You are suppose to feel their ribs easely and they should have a wastline. If you can actually see their ribs only then they are too skinny. Anyway lean dog is much healthier than a chubby dog.
the better the muscle tone , the better the ligament and cartilage , the better the chance for good hip results .
skinny can be from digestive problems or nutrition denied or deficit. I have lean pups , but they are as firm as pythons -- I wish I could put a pup through the screen for you to feel. lean and mean-
coulter you and sage look perfect for each other - great couple
I would say the dog is too lean , there is too much of a difference between the ribs and the groin.
Your dog is in an active state of growth which is taxing on the immune , there needs to be some cushion , some reserve , and the building blocks for all that growth
what are you feeding by the way?
More like what is he NOT feeding lol poor guy fed the pup different dog food and she has issues with all her foods that's why she is a bit too skinny. She will get better once he gets appropriate food and makes sure the dog doesn't have parasites. Sorry OP to answer Carmen's question for you I was on the thread I figured I'll just say it...
Lol thanks, now that you made me sound like an idiot.
Is it my fault that no food has worked for her so far? I've been doing my best to get her appropriate food, but like i said nothing agrees with her
So i was very proud of Sage today, she did this great self stack
She was at work with me today, just like every day, but i guess she was cold because she sat in front of my work light for hours lol she would stare at it or curl up in front of it haha
So her stool test result came back negative. So I'm at a loss
