Skinny poodle! The skin and bones "?
We adopted a poodle 2 years ago about 6 months of a young girl who returned to school. The dog is physically larger than our 2 Lhasa Apso, but weighs much less (13 lbs) vs. 18 and 22 pounds. It is difficult to caress the poodle because there has nothing to pet … just skin and bones. It is a very happy dog and a negative fecal, etc. He eats a lot, more candy. The Lhasa is 22 lb overweight because I fed treats so well. So I was feeding lots of poodle food and treats on top of the kibble he eats. It has not gained an ounce! Miniature poodles are just thin by nature and there is nothing I can do?
Although poodles are the backbone fine .. Lhasa he looks like he may be a little too thin. You should be able to feel his ribs under a layer of fat. If you feel bones too easily .. He is underweight. Offer to check with your veterinarian first. It may have a thyroid problem, worms, or something prevents to win. Increase the amount of kibble he gets. Powerful exercises is also good to help tone and strengthen muscles! Do keep in mind that, like the weight looseing, there is also a healthy way to gain weight. Want to try a calorie mai superior dog food too, as we will work / Performance dogs. Also check into something like "petsure" to add calories and nutrition for food.
