Coonhound Mama
MemberHello all!
Iām a new raw feeder and although Iāve done loads of research on here, in books and around the wide web, Iām still at a loss for how to keep my girl at a proper weight. When we adopted her she was 62 pounds and has swiftly gone down to 57 despite calorie counting and a medium-level fat diet. She is very active (1-2 hours of vigorous cardio per day) and we have a hard time keeping weight on her despite plenty of healthy fats and a partial kibble diet (sheās a 5 year old rescue new to us as of 3 months ago, so we are transitioning slowly).
If anyone has similar experience with large breed athletic dogs and keeping weight on them healthily, please feel free to respond as I am looking for some advice.

MemberHave you tried Satin Balls? Google for the recipe
Coonhound Mama
MemberThank you! I just looked it up via Instructables. Iām wondering though if there would be a good substitute for the oats? She does not eat grains. I suppose peas might work for their plant-based carbohydrate content.

MemberTry salmon meal for your dog, salmon meal will keep your dog healthy and fit. I feed my dog with salmon feed and he is really fit and fine, We both go running every day and after that I feed him, You should do the same.

MemberHi Andrew B,
Thank you for the advice. We have now successfully moved to 100% raw (prey model 80/10/10 with added veggies, whole food supplements and oils), and I have seen a great improvement in her weight. She is slowly putting more on and is back up to a healthy 60 pounds. A recent vet visit confirmed her weight is in a very healthy range so I am hoping we continue to have more success! You are right about the salmon, however. Healthy fats have helped us in our weight gaining journey. Sheās a huge sardine fan š Thanks for all the help!

Memberglad things are better, CM!
Andrew B
MemberYouāre most welcome coonhound mama, really glad to hear that she is well now. Also, I want to know that is she taking another supplement like salmon oil capsules?
Coonhound Mama
MemberHi Andrew-
Sheās taking a multivitamin capsule, a spirulina capsule (with added Vitamin E) and a whole food vitamin/mineral supplement by Dr. Harveyās once per day along with flax seed, chia seed, and alternating vegetables/herbs. She gets a scoop of yogurt or full fat cottage cheese once per day and oysters once a week. I try to stick to balancing with whole foods but the multivitamin capsule is in there just to cover any bases I may be missing. We donāt do any other added fish oils as she eats sardines several times per week. Thanks again for the advice and followup!
