He’s had a fecal and they said it was fine. I can feel his backbone, ribs, and hip bones. He gets fed daily and water daily. I’m not sure what to do? He won’t gain and he isn’t feeling well today.

No my vet didn’t really do blood work on him. They did a skin scrapping. He came to me with mites. He’s eating blue mountain. I feed him twice a day about a cup of food. He’s 7-8 months old and I’ve had him since November.

I’ve never heard about that. It’s one of the top rated diets for all natural food

What should I be feeding him then? Everyone says blue mountain is top rated because it’s got all natural ingredients.

I did switch temporarily to a diet from shoprite and was planning on going back to blue mountain food. It’s a 5/5 rating. It’s just very expensive.

Hm I’ve never heard of that. Where do you get natural logic?

I don’t believe I’ve seen those brands before o.o. What store did you go to?

How fast is delivery? Honestly I’m not really a fan of the vet I go to but it’s because of my dad that I go there. He’s stuck in his old ways and I feel like he’d be weird if I wanted to switch. Any suggestions? Does anyone know of any good vets near Bethlehem that aren’t super over priced? I know he won’t go for it if they charge outrageous prices :).

Thank you 🙂 I’ll look at it and I made an appointment with a vet 15 minutes from me for tomorrow. It had really good reviews and they said we’ll discuss diet and everything

surely they’ve done more than just a fecal…have they done any bloodwork?  how much are you feeding, and what food?  how old is he?  i would push the issue with your vet…if he is truly skinny, they should be alarmed.

i would discontinue the use of Blue Buffalo food. there is a huge lawsuit/settlement going on right now regarding questionable ingredients.

i would do a lot more research.

we frequently feed Wellness – CORE to my dog, Complete Health to my cat.
Pulsar by Horizon is a decent brand and can be purchased online.
i tried Nature’s Logic recently and was pleased with it – i will be adding it to my regular rotation
Acana and Orijen are fantastic foods but may be too rich for your puppy.
Annamaet is popular with sport dog owners and is considered a good food – i believe it’s made in Pennsylvania.

i shop online via chewy.com. i have zero complaints buying through this store, and strongly recommend them to others.

if you’re in PA, 1-2 days. shipping’s free if you set up autoship and their prices are regularly less than that of PetSmart/Petco.

i don’t know vets in Bethlehem, i’m sorry. i’m down in Baltimore.
