Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

"Hours of Fun" was how it was advertised. She had it stripped in 2 minutes.
Too smart for their own good :laughing: what about a treat ball? If you feed kibble you could try feeding her meals out of it. If you're on raw like us, put any treats inside. I use the two feeders on the right. It's both fun and work for them. image.webp
 
@MarkChambers ...you're kidding right? I'll go out on the limb and say she's just in a holding pattern for awhile...Here's something that helped me with Grace...I feed her 3 times a day, raw, 2-2.5% of her body weight total intake and I give her two naps a day...10am & 2pm...& up at 7am and bed at 7pm...I really believe the naps are what they need the first year...sleeping is when they grow...one last thing if she's spayed her legs might be longer...Good luck
 
Sassy is fed three times a day of raw diet plus a mid aft snack of goats milk, raw egg and plain yogurt. Plus treats which are sometimes whole nuggets of Primal freeze dried raw. Lamb is her favorite. She never eats less that 2 lbs of raw a day. Frozen raw--the freeze dried is for snacks and travel only. When she's hungry it's 3 lbs. So she gets plenty of food. She sleeps a lot during the day but it isn't scheduled. She sleeps the whole night--on the bed with us. I'm married to Elly May Clampett. :D

As I said her appetite has dropped with the cold weather and decrease is rigorous exercise. I'm assuming it will increase when she can chase frisbees again. But I still expected her to be gaining weight. She just seemed to put the brakes on all of a sudden. <shrug>

Hm. As far as food intake, the consensus here seems to be that they are pretty self regulating. Re the weight, I think it might be normal. K had runny poop issues around that age and was really underweight until we switched him over to raw, so I can't make a direct comparison. Why not create a thread so that others can advise you better.

We’re still with the pano... It’s jumped legs again :facepalm: but he’s gained some weight since I added kefir (1 tbsp BID), little bits of Apple and parsley. I also will give him some greens and veggie leftovers occasionally to go with his dozen baby carrots he gets a day due to Tanks carrot addiction. :rofl:
It sounds like a lot but it’s tiny scraps. Oh and I’m happy to say the anchovy & sardine oil I’ve been using for little over a month is showing results! His coat is a little softer and sleeker!
Anyway... I know I sound like a broken record but I just love this boy more than I ever could have imagined I was capable of loving anything. :love:
I am forever in debt for this miracle gift.

On another note.... does a particular body part look inordinately large?? They seem rather prominent :wtf3:
And last but not least... he has been having *moments* with his male parts that are very, very disconcerting!!! He has no idea what is happening to his body and the poor boy lays on the ground and tries to give himself gender reassignment surgery!!! My poor children witnessed one of these moments and came running to me yelling that “Remy is trying to bite his wiener off and then peed on himself!!!”

Gasp... it was not pee. :shock::green:

Remy has learned a new trick! I've seen Kaiser do that...however...he is usually...unsuccessful :whistle:

I was looking at his man bags as well and they do look big - on both Remy and Kaiser. Maybe it's the pent up pressure :spit: I DARE YOU TO START A THREAD!
