Since Sam got his haircut I was wondering if he's too thin. I have been feeding him the same amount since he was like 4 months old. He eats 3/4 C twice a day. (unless my mom feeds him, she gives him more :rolleyes: ) Should I increase how much a feed him?

Its hard to tell from the picture but I think he looks fine. You shouldn't really be able to see his ribs (which I can't...), but you should be able to easily feel them...
But people tend to tell me a couple of my dogs are too thin :rolleyes: So, maybe I'm the wrong person to answer, lol.
Yeah, it is hard to tell, but he looks fine IMO.
He looks fine.
Ki gets 2-3 cups a day (depending on how active/how much we played that day)
Nala gets 2 1/2 cups a day.
Simba get 1 1/2-2 cups
Plus way too many treats for all three.
The average person thinks Kiara & Nala are too thin but our vet thinks they are perfect condition. I just took some pictures and they even look incredibly skinny.... they are just right IMO and our vet's opinion.
He looks fine to me
I prefer my dogs to be thin it is IMO much healthier and better on their joints
Lady gets 1 cup a day
Toby 4 cups a day
Lady 42 lbs
Toby 41 lbs
Here's a good guide to go by. I found this on another forum I post on, so I do not take credit for the picture or for finding the picture:

I guess according to Purina they are underfed. :p
I believe my vets more than them, though.
Yup, I guess my dogs (well at least Jack and Kyra) are underfed too ;)Quote:

IMO the ideal dog in that picture is over weight
