Unhappy Bull terrier PLease help me and my dog....

I am the proud owner of a lovely bull terrier dog called bully whos 8yrs old ! over the last year or two hes started to lose a lot of weight and we cant work out why and hes starting to look very skinny ! I have took him to the vets who gave him a blood test witch came back all clear ! they allso wormed him! The touble is he has never been a big eater and has allways been a dryed dog food dog ! He is more of a picker at his food instead of eating loads in one sitting if you know what i mean !??! I walk him for an hour and half a day and he lives for it ! hes super fit and if you watched him run round you would see how active he is! but hes just getting skinnyer by the day ! i feed him wellbeloved ! anybody got any ideas on how to fatten him up or on what i could be doing wrong! I think the world of him and would hate the thought of him not being here gruntting and growning at me ! please help!

Re: Bull terrier PLease help me and my dog....

If there is nothing medically wrong with him then i suggest u try feeding him some tripe, My dogs love tripe and it can also stimulate appetite in a fussy eater.
I must admit, Every bully iv'e own has never turned down tripe iv'e also found it helps get them nice and chunky.

Re: Bull terrier PLease help me and my dog....

Must admit, 17kg is rather light for a male bully, My sisters female weighs in at 29kg, she's one heafty lump, one of my females weighs 24kg and the other 27kg.
But as myself and every1 said, try tripe, I know what you mean about the smell tho, It makes my daughter feel sick bad and my son just heaves at the smell of the stuff, i've got used to it now but i do feel abit shown up when people knock my door and iv'e only just fed em lol.


Oh yes, as carol said, pasta is good for weight gain aswell, i feed that often to mine and they love it.
A £250 pound bag of pasta last me a good week or more for 3 of my dogs.
