Well I'm assuming 1 spoon food every feeding. That's what I'm doing.

Yes I give a big spoon full once a day. But I only feed once a day if u feed twice give a tbs with each feeding. Make sure u worm them first.

There is a formula that tells how much food calories to increase for every ten degree drop in temperature during the cold months. If the dog is short coated it will probably need even more food. If the dog does not have the fine under coat it will make it worse. Give the dog extra food and about a tablespoon of used cooking oil or bacon grease.
Some dogs are naturally lean.
A teaspoon or tablespoon of any kind of oil probably wont be enough to keep the weight on with this cold. If the dog does not have a medical problem then just increase the feed to the dog and put at least 1 or 2 tablespoons of some type of cooking grease or oil in there feed and instead of feeding once a day break it up into two feedings a day. Making a warm bed for the dog will help in keeping the weight on during the cold winter months. |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

Yes I will keep you and everyone posted on he doing. I been giving him a spoon full twice a day with his feeding. I also have up his feeding as well. He is a shorter hair then the others and I think it's just the weather im hoping. We will see in the next few weeks. |

I have found that some dogs are just naturally leaner than other dogs. They must have a higher metabolism.
I have owned several bird dogs in years past that just stayed thin no matter how much you fed them.
My red cur male is one of those dogs that are thin. I feed him more than another dog that probably has him 20 lbs..

I have a border collie male that has always been skinny and i could put him on a self feeder of any dog food all the extra scraps oil raw meat anything. Still wouldnt gain i started feeding Victor dog food and poof the dog has been on it 30 days hes fatter than any dog in my kennels. 2 1/2 cups he weighs 50 pounds. never weighed over 35 until now. Another thing is vitamins B-100 complex never used myself seen some guys use it and it worked. Just my thought
