Title: Dog stays skinny
Post by: Bjanecek on August 06, 2010, 08:54:55 pm
I have a full blooded pit bull that has a frame to be huge but he won't gain weight. Had him tested for worms and he checked out good. There is food in front of him at all times and he eats his share but stays skinny. Any suggestions?

I was feeding a cheap dog food from the co-op and had loose stools, bad smell, and no weight gain and poor performance. SportMix change all that. would'nt feed anything else.
