How do i get my dog to gain weight?

I have a 2 year old boxer who is incredibly high energy. she was at 47 lbs and quite lean. when my roommate brought home a puppy who had worms, my dog got them too. She is now worm free, and healthy, but at 40lbs. Too thin. I can see all her ribs and hip bones. She's been on puppy food for a month and not gaining anything. Recommended daily feeding is 3 cups, I feed her 6 plus peanut butter, plus an egg a day, plus 2 chicken breasts a week. The dog did a fecal test and came up with she's a typical high energy boxer. The problem is my next door neighbor has threatened to report me to animal control. I know with the vet record I'm covered, but I don't want to go through the hassle of dealing with that. Any suggestions? I

How to Lose Weight Without Eating Healthy

Recommended Answer:

My puppy was the runt of her litter at 8wks and had a very hard time putting on weight. When I brought her home and introduced her to her new puppy food, slowly- she got diarrhea and was hard pressed to drink water. I took her to vets almost immediately and they gave me a special wet meat puppy food designed to help promote growth and development and put on weight- I would mix it with her regular dry puppy food once her stomach was used to it, and did that 3 times a day and did frequent weight checkups. Also high calorie treats like rollover or chicken breast are great! This is just my experience of course...
