Puppy Growth

RESULTS 1-5 OF 5

I have a six month old purebred Pyrenees, I need to know if Purina puppy chow is providing enough nutrition for such a large breed dog? Sometimes he seems to have problems getting around (like an old dog does), is this growing pains or is there a condition associated with this breed that can affect him like this? If it is growing pains, what can I do to help, would calcium supplements help? If so what would be the appropriate amount? thank you

We just adopted our 3rd dog Zelda, from the humane society and she was listed as an Aussie mix. When we took her to the vet, we asked what the other mix might be. She thought she might be part Great Dane since at 3 months she already weighs 25 pounds. The size doesn't scare us. We have two other "pound puppies": a Rott/Shep mix and a Retriever mix. We were trying to find growth charts to get some idea of how big she will be at adulthood. Is there puppy growth chart like the one we have seen for children?

My first question is about the weight of my dog. I have a 2yr. old Siberian husky, his name is Alaska and he weighs approximately 50-55 pounds, but he looks so thin and I hate seeing his ribs through his coat. Is he underweight, a friend suggested puppy food again so he is on that, but he was on the beef & rice formula, what should I do?
