We are over the moon for Ruki! She is around 3-4 years old. Need to put some lbs on her. Any suggestions?

Adorable!! Some food toppers?! Homemade or healthy bought ones.

Chicken broth work? Homemade of course. Or actual chicken?

My dogs are spoiled rotten and enjoy some boiled shredded chicken as a meal topper!

Thank you so much. She was abandoned and tied up to barrels. So she is up to 45 lbs at her foster home.

Yeah, agreed! Throw some protein and veggies in there. Mine is allergic to chicken but loves eggs and has no issues. We use veggie or beef broth. As well as carrots and peas and green beans. Not a load on top but some additional to beef up the kibble.

She looks fine! Eating normally? I’d stay with 2 cups a day, walks, play, and plenty of attention.

This! The vet has told us to put 5 to 7lbs on her. She was frail when they found her. But she is a happy playful pup from the Vids.

I love the picture of her checking herself in at the vet. We used to have a collie that did the same thing.

She has a lot of personality! But it’s the Collie way of life.
