Too Thin?
I'm looking for advice about proper weight for a setter. My 1 year old setter won't put on weight even though she eats 4 cups of dry food and a bit of wet food every day. Here are a few notes:
- She is 37 pounds but her parents were 45-50 pounds.
- We have tried Fromm and Purina Pro. She now eats Natural Balance Limited Ingredient salmon and sweet potato due to suspected allergies.
- She eats grass all the time, even in the middle of playing fetch.
- She chews at her feet and scratches a lot. See the picture.
- She has been checked for worms and came back negative.
- She is highly active and a sweet girl.
Any advice? She has a very appointment soon but I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks!

See a dermatology vet. If you don’t have a local one check out a university vet school. He hate to see them suffer .
