Hi all
I have a 10 mth old rescue lurcher pup (not sure what he has in him!), who seems happy, loads of energy, lots of walks, play and training going on, and am feeding him (dry food) the recommended weights for his age and size split into breakfast and dinner (just moved down to two meals from three a day), plus occasionally add tinned fish to supplement, as well as veg, treats when training etc, he never seems hungry but he still looks really ribby - not emaciated at all but can see his ribs when he is lying down, running playing etc... He has been growing fine, beautiful shiny coat, very happy dog and is the picture of health otherwise. I know these breeds are naturally very lean but wonder if I should be feeding him a bit more? Adding higher calorie foods to his diet? Understand it might be a bit of a difficult question to answer as all dogs are different. But any ideas or pointers welcome! Thanks
