Canine Red Cell Supplement- any feedback?

Post by luvmydogs » Fri Sep 14, 2012 9:44 am

Has anyone used Canine Red Cell supplement? I am trying to find a way to get more weight on my young dogs (1 1/2 yrs old). They get as much quality dog food as they want and are both still very thin. I was thinking of trying this Canine Red Cell. Let me know if you have any good or bad experience with the stuff.

PS- my dogs are completely healthy and vet checked regularly. We just live on a game ranch and they are fortunate to run/play for several hours a day.
Thanks.

What brand food/formula are you feeding and how much a day?

I would be using Prozyme digestive enzymes added to each meal. http://www.prozymeproducts.com/

If you don't see the desired results then you can try Animal Naturals K9 Healthy Gainer

MikeB- thanks for the suggestion. I am currently feeding Purina One lamb and rice. I had them on Purina ProPlan Performance but they apparently didn't like the taste enough because I couldn't get them to eat much and they got skinnier. They like the Purina One and my male English Setter eats about 4.5 cups a day. He's about 62 lbs. My female only weighs 42 lbs and she eats maybe 2.5 cups a day. I currently give them as much food as they will eat but I would say that is what they generally consume. I will check into the enzymes. Thanks.

sounds like they are perfectly fine the way they are to me. if they are healthy and happy, why do they need more weight?? post some pics, i bet you most people here will tell you they look great.
