Ask the Pet Nutrition Service: What's Up With My Skinny Pup?

I have a six-month-old pit bull. He eats two full bowls of dog food each day, but he still does not seem to be gaining enough weight. I have had him tested for worms and had a stool sample tested, and both came back negative.

Thank you for contacting the ASPCA Pet Nutrition Service.

We think it would be best for your puppy to be seen by your veterinarian as soon as possible. There are a lot of factors that could prevent him from gaining weight. You will want to discuss whether or not your pup is gaining appropriately, and if other medical intervention is necessary. Once your veterinarian has completed the exam, he or she should be able to give you a time frame in which to expect your puppy to start gaining weight.
