To me it sounds like he's not getting enough to eat, 3 cups of purina a day is not enough for a dog his size, I don't beleive. Since you are changing to be a better quality food then 3 cups a day imight be enough, but many dogs eat 4+ cups of purina types foods a day just to try to maintain weight, as it's mostly full of fillers. What food did they recommend to you on the GSD board?
I don’t know how I missed this thread. Welcome to PT! Travis is gorgeous he has amazing looking eyes. Katy and Miles are adorable. :D
Travis is HANDSOME! I love his coat and color!
What precious doggies! Welcome to PT! :)
I agree with Vela, I don't think that's enough food for him.
As with most GSD's. Sierra has a VERY sensitive stomach, after trying lots of different foods I found the Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach was the best. It appears that she is most sensitive to poultry. (She'll throw up or have the runs immediately)
They have been on it for a few years and they do very well on it.
I know it's not the best food out there, but it's the best thing for them!
They eat their big meal at night, they both get 2 1/2 cups dry and a heaping tablespoon of canned. Then in the morning I put another 1- 1 1/2 cups of dry down for them and they pick at it during the day when I'm at work.
Make sure to ask your vet about EPI, it's just a simple blood test to find out if he has it.
What other GSD board do you belong to?
I also belong to www.thegsd.com
Travis' weight looks perfect to me lol he's really pretty, I rarly get too see nice stream line shepherds that can actually stand these days ;) I LOVE the really sleek coated GSDs, he's so pretty!
Can I ask why that would be any of your business anyway? Why do you always have to ask that question?Quote:

The cup that I'm using is more than a cup (0k that was confusing) it's actually 2 cups.

Welcome! You're furkids are all gorgeous! Travis is sooo handsome! I'm having a lot of trouble keeping weight on my little dachshund Molly, she's not very "ribby" or anything but just not quite filled out enough. She's been through a lot in the past six months though so I think she'll be fine. Anywho, I can't wait to see more pictures!
