Our nearly 3 year old Springer x Lurcher has tried lots of different foods in her life, from the standard Iams stuff to special vegan food only found online.
Reson being that she seems to need to poo A LOT. On some foods it was 5-6 times a day.
I did some research and put her on a human food diet. Meat, potatoes, rice, vegetables and some fresh fruit. The pooing has slowed down, her coat is so shiny, she looks and seems so healthy but she has lost weight and looks skinny. Her ribs and spine are slightly visible and very obvious when being stroked. She does do a lot of exercise but I'm concerned that her diet is not enough. I've tried giving her more food but it seems to make no difference. Vet says she is on the thin side but healthy.
Has anyone helped their dog gain weight successfully? And does an all 'real' food diet lead to weight loss?
Thanks so much

Dog only eats human food. Is this ok?
