Answer

let it eat anything

Answer

how many times do you walk him and what do  you feed him

Answer

feed him healthy house food

Answer

Just keep feeding him and dont exercise him or her. But be careful so he or her  wont have health problems!

Answer

This is kind of funny because Rotties usually gain weight with no problem. Mix in healthy house food. meats and carbs such as potatoes and noodles, in with hard dog food and a quarter of canned food. do this in the morning and at night. leave hard food out for them all day long. and the dog does need exercise!!! becauseee Rotties are prown to hip displasia soo the exercise is essential! Do not let the dog get too obese. Also a raw egg like every other day is good for the coat. keeps it shiny. and a touch of garlic in there food everyday gets in there blood stream and helps keep  the fleas off them. (gets in there blood stream and fleas dont like the taste.) No chochlate or sugars. This may kill your dog. Best of luck! and best of wishes!

Answer

buy a dog food brand  that has a high fat content... usually canned dog food has alot of fat...

Answer

Feed your dog with high calorie food. You have to observe what motivates them to eat. Also, check if your dog is very active. However, after pampering him of food but still can't gain weight, you have to consult a vet from jacarandaanimalhospital.com because they will surely help you about it. Sometimes dogs don't gain weight not because they lack food but because they have some illness.

Answer

Feed him with high calorie diet. However, when you already did this and your dog still doesn't gain weight, perhaps, it is time to send him to a vet clinic. I had the same case when my dog doesn't have any appetite for his food. I asked a representative from jacarandaanimalhospital.com and he told me that my dog might be suffering some disease. Good thing he was treated earlier.

Answer

I would take him to the vet, if he is loosing weight he may have IBD, cancer, or a Foreign body. But plain yogurt and brown rice are good to try to get them to eat.

Answer

There's a couple things you can do, Feed him/her more, Exercise him/her less, and a few more but those are the main ones.

But keep in mind there'd a few things you shouldn't do that seem like the right thing they include,  Don't let him/her eat anything it can make him/her sick, don't stop exercise at all and can make him/her muscles weak.    

and remember to only feed him more and stuff for as long as he's under weight you don't want an over weight dog.
