high calorie and balanced

Valeria B · 2014-04-27T20:56:29+00:00

My shepherd is a working dog, search and rescue, and has been steadily losing weight. My vet has ruled out any pancreatic disorder/insufficiency. I need to find a high calorie dry food to get her weight back up to par, however, I don't want to get anything that will be detrimental to her. I have done several different foods and I'm at a loss. I need some help.

There is a forum on the main forums page, one regarding nutrition and another on diet and health issues. You may want to look/post there. I have heard Dr. Tim’s is a good one for working dogs, and pinnacle has one too

Check out Abady granular. You can add it to her current food. Look for GSD forums for help.

Dr. Tim’s, Victor, and Abady is what I know that is high-cal and really good too. The first two are specifically formulated for working dogs, high-quality, and overall really good. I have fed them both. Abady is over 800 kcal/cup.
