When our shepherd started having problems — constant wolfish appetite, but not gaining weight — the vets were at a loss. The tests were normal, but no one could give a definitive diagnosis. We tried a bunch of foods, supplements, feeding schemes, but the result was zero. In desperation, I started looking for information on forums and came across https://www.workingdogforum.com/ On the forum, I found a topic with similar symptoms — and several experienced owners and dog handlers immediately said that their dogs had similar problems associated, for example, with enzyme deficiency or parasites, which are not always detected by standard methods. Thanks to their advice, we reviewed the diet, added digestive enzymes, and after a couple of weeks, the dog’s condition began to improve.
