Had a litter off my bitch laat winter and kept a pup, mums 18kg and pup is 20but bout 25% bigger, he is skinny as a rake, tried him on eukanuba, orijen, ttux and pedigree, still cant seem to get sny weight on him. Other two adults have been on orijen and do well

Wormed?

Dont wanna kill him! Had one dog get into the drip tray on a pig spit... Acute pancreatisis that he only just survived

Beef dripping ... Mix it in with his biscuits ..ie warm it and add some to his tucker pure fat will add weight. Get some briskit bones again high fat with bone marrow. I get mine each week from new world 2$ per tray grab a 10 trays and give him a couple morning and night will chuck weight if its a tucker problem.

Other wise make sure he's eating the grub ..mine doesn't like dry food but the local sparrows do ...so I thought he was eating his tucker but he wasn't and the bloody sparrows would clean out his dry tucker fast as.

Will pick some up on the next trip to town, ( Mon for a tirip to gunworks for a 17hmr suppressor) he is Def eating it, wont let the other dogs near him while he still has food in the bowl, even if full and stopped eating lol

Mee tooo but its too expensive, for weight loss try ordering you dinner at KFC Nelson, you will be old and skinny by the time you get it

Actually any good dog food will do the job just give him more of it and by good I don't mean Pal Meaty Bites

If he don't like dry biscuits then soak them in a little water.

Get your hands on a ram dogs do real good on them

Couple in the paddock nextdoor... Maybe not those ones!

Good time of the year to get them mite find a cocky or 2 wanting to get rid of a few rather than carry them through winter

"Mighty mix ", seems to be the only processed dog food that keeps my dogs in check over the winter .

They are inside dogs over winter.. Wooden floors so easy to clean, not allowed on the couch though!

fatty old ram is my pick, also possum, skinned with head and hocks cut off, (you don't want them swallowing those claws) then frozen whole to kill any parasites. Axe them up into frozen bits, seems to make any dog of mine fat, but beware the possum fart. Good excuse to go shoot some racoons too

beware though the mighty possum fart, good friends of mine used to feed their pack of 14 huskies possum to keep the condition on and the costs down. 14 possum farting dogs are an experience!!
