Atlas will be 2 on April 19th. My wife and parents think he looks skinny. I am up in the air between lean and skinny. You can slightly see his ribs.
He has had a hectic life right in the prime of his growth stages. Here is his background if you feel like reading. Atlas...The story..
The short story. I got him around around a year from a overwhelmed previous owner. He was fixed just shy of a year. The PO had him on a vegan diet because they thought he had allergies. We got him and tried several foods and finally settled on Earthborn Holistic Coastal Catch. His coat is great and stool is usually firm. We feed him about 4 cups a day, 2 in the AM and 2 PM. That falls right in the middle of the recommended amount. I have tried uping it and his stool softens up. He is extremely food motivated. Woofs down his food and tries for any scrap or chance to steal he possibly can. We do not feed people food unless he swipes it.
He also got giardia about 6 months ago and we had to go through a bunch of pills to get rid of it. When I had him at the vet at that point he was 98lbs. I just weighed him by holding him on our home scale and he was 104lbs.
He is very active. We go for a couple miles off leash every day without fail.
Any insight into his weight gain or feeding? I am probably going to take him to the vet soon to have him weighed and possibly retested for giardia.
