Canned food stopped;lab loses weight

[susan]

Hi, I stopped canned dog food and my lab 1 1/2 yr. lost weight. But the canned food gives her gas and makes her poo soft. Any suggestions please.

Increase the amount of kibble you're feeding her.

appreciate the reply. I stopped the canned, because I read it's bad for dogs, but she wouldn't eat dry without it. When I started seeing her ribs, I restarted a little canned in the mix. She's a rescue, so don't know previous diet. But since raw diets get such mixed reviews, I'll continue adding a little canned to kibble. thanks again

Both canned and kibble are bad for dogs. If you research them fully and study the ingredients, where they come from, and the manufacturing process you will see why.

Rad diets don't get mixed reviews from people who actually feed them. Check out my web page listed in my sig and you will get more information. The Many Myths of Raw Feeding is another place to learn about the myths of raw feeding.
