gain weight

[DEW/MAN]

Anyone have any suggestions on how to put some weight on a beagle, I cant seem to get any weight on him. Any suggestions on what to add to his feed or anything. thanks

What are you feeding him now? How much are you feeding? How much are you running the dog?

I am feeding Pride 26/18. Double the feed, running around 3-4 times a week.

A good worming and a warmer dogbox.
I put weight on one of my bitches by worming her(didn't see any worms) and letting her sleep in the feed room. It's warmer in the feed room and i figured she didn't have to expend the energy to stay warm during the night sleeping in there. I also found 2 males keeping the third male out of the box at night. If you bunk 2 or more together, make sure they get along in the sleeping quarters...
ps...I think my wife was sneaking some table scraps out there also... ...some hounds are easy keepers and others need some extra to help them along.

what is a good wormer you all use. I thought of maybe using ivormec, but would just rather use a good wormer instead. Which do you all think would work the best.

I like ivomec for heartworms and prazivet plus for everything else.

I read an article on weight and wintertime nutrition. It recommended 2 feedings a day and increasing protein in the winter. I feed the same dog food you do but I've added homecooked chicken and rice to supplement the evening feeding on a female we're putting weight on. Also added 1 tbl. spoon of cod liver oil. Good luck with your dog.
