Nowadays it’s the era of keeping pets; basically every household has a pet. When we raise pets, many problems arise. Take poodles for example, what to do if a poodle is too thin?

Actually, both excessive thinness and obesity are harmful to a dog’s health. If excessively overweight, weight loss is needed; if overly thin, appropriate weight gain is necessary. The main reason for a poodle’s thin body is malnutrition, possibly due to a fragile digestive system that cannot quickly digest and absorb nutrients from food, or it might be infected with parasitic diseases. Therefore, owners should find ways to help their poodles gain some weight and maintain good health.

Regarding the dog’s diet, try to choose lighter foods. For example, professional dog food, lean meat with less fat, fresher vegetables, etc. So when preparing food for the dog, owners must remember to balance meat and vegetables and have a balanced diet to avoid malnutrition. Also, to promote normal development, poodles during growth need protein, vitamins, calcium, and other nutrients to ensure proper bone development and growth. Owners must remember to feed the dog regularly and in set amounts daily, avoid excessive snacks, and focus on the main diet. Besides diet, take the poodle for appropriate exercise to promote blood circulation and enhance the dog’s immune system.

Besides that, periodically vaccinate the dog and perform internal deworming. Long-term neglect of check-ups can lead to parasite proliferation in the dog’s body, which is a major cause of a poodle’s thinness. Parasites steal nutrients from the dog’s body, causing it to be picky with food, eat but not gain weight, eventually leading to nutritional loss.

Therefore, besides the dog’s own reasons, a poodle’s thinness is also related to the owner’s care. Owners must spend more time and effort on their dogs.
