Correct your dog's dry food ration

If you follow the recommended amounts on the kibble packets and your dog looks very thin, then the product is not suited to your dog's activity level. However, diet is not the only factor that can explain this condition: your pet may be affected by external factors (such as worms or germs), which may affect its ability to assimilate kibble. Our first piece of advice is to deworm your dog and have a check-up with your vet.

At the same time, we also recommend switching to a range of kibbles offering more fat and more protein. Your four-legged friend will then gradually return to a healthy weight.

Your dog is a bit too thin: All you have to do is increase the daily ration (but beware of overfeeding) and, during sporting periods (when activity is more intense than during the rest of the year), switch to a protein-rich kibble to help your pet regain muscle mass. Supplementation with specific food supplements can also be considered in addition to kibbles (don't hesitate to ask your regular vet for advice on this).

However, you should be aware that the dietary transition for your dog, just like for humans, takes time. Results are not immediate: this increase in the daily ration must be done gradually! If the rations offered are too high from the outset, your dogs won't be able to assimilate the extra food, which could lead to digestive problems.

Your dog is slightly overweight, but that's nothing to worry too much about. Reduce their recommended daily allowance and take them out to exercise, so they can get rid of their excess fat and rebuild their muscles.

Also, avoid "snacks" (table scraps and other treats) between meals and remember to keep your companion well hydrated, as this is how they will eliminate their excess body fat.
