Bailey is having a high quality kibble in the morning and raw at night. He was eating 5 pounds of meat per day and lost so much weight. His spine in so visible that you can count every last vertebrae. I am afraid we're killing him, I am scared that he wasn't getting the proper amount of organs/vitamins/minerals/calcium/protein/fat etc. DH says there's no way we can afford to feed him more than 5 pounds a day, so he bought him kibble. Bailey is also losing a ton of hair, his coat is dull and he smells really bad? I am really upset that he has to eat kibble in the morning, but I'd rather he eat that than die from emaciation. He is fed every single day in the afternoon.

This isn't Bailey, I'm too ashamed to take a picture of him. This is exactly what he looks like though.

Oh goodness, I'm very sorry to hear this Could there be something wrong with him?
Bon eats between 2 & 3 lbs of meat/day and I think he's looking pretty good (I've included a picture). Not too thin and not too chubby (he weighs around 165). The girls have both put on a little weight with only around a pound per day each.

Today they all got a special treat of a pound of ground hamburger each and a pigs foot....they had turkey yesterday

Bon looks wonderful! Bailey had diarrhea for a few days, but other than that he seems healthy. We might need to get a blood panel done if he doesn't gain weight from the kibble. I was thinking that maybe the cold weather made him lose weight since dogs burn more calories. It has been pretty cold here and DH takes him for long (he's gone atleast 2 hours) walks in the mornings (on Saturday and Sunday). I have explained to DH that Danes shouldn't take long walks until they're around 1 year old, but he doesn't listen. Maybe the long walks coupled with the cold weather is too much for him?

Wow, I can't believe he is loosing that much weight and that fast. He looked great everytime I saw pics of him and 5lbs is a lot of meat even for that large of a dog. I strongly suggest you get him to the vet for complete bloodwork & a fecal sample. It just doesn't seem like it is the food intake to me, seems like there is most likely an underlying cause.
Yous will be in my thoughts and keep us informed please.
