I got a 11 month old GSP. And I'm feeding her nutro hi performance. About 5 to 6 cups a day and still her ribs show a bit and looks gangly. Is this normal for a GSP at this age. She is full of energy and appears healthy.
What do u all think?

Can you post a pic? How many ribs showing? I keep mine so that you can see about 2 ribs...

Not unusual for a teen ager. Just give him some time and he will mature and gain some weight. But I sure wouldn't feed him any more and if you see any sign of loose stool I would even cut him back slightly. You have to be up near the max a dog can handle.

4-5 cups of Diamond Naturals and my GSP is still a 3-4 ribber.

She always has about 3 to 4 ribs showing. Maybe its just her age.

My 6-yr old is on 4 cups of PPP and most ribs are showing and that is with Prozyme! Hip bones are very visible as well.

My dogs sire could eat 6-8 cups of euk 30-20 and you could still see every rib and hip bone. My girl has ribs showing and she is very healthy. She eats 3-5 cups a day depending on how much she works/how she acts. I wouldn't worry and actually like how it looks.
