We have just moved and our boxer is pretty stressed and anxious. She's not eating real well unless I mix something in with it. She has lost wieght and is starting to look a bit bony. Does anyone know of a good high calorie dog food or a healthier way to get her to eat MORE (or more high calorie) without giving her a bunch of table scraps. I'd like to get some weight back on her but don't want to mess her system up with a bunch of "people" food. Thank You!

You could try this Hills Diet AD food available only from vets. Its basically all fat. It costs about $1.00 a can but speak to your vet first. Sawyer loved it but unfortunately with his treatments it was TOO fatty for him. The vet said it would bulk him up. Hope that helps

For sure take her to the vet just to be safe, and let them know that you just moved and that she's been under alot of stress. You might even give her an old shirt or something of yours if she doesn't sleep with you just to make her feel a bit safer. I hope she comes back around soon and gets to eating better.
Thanks for the suggestions. I did take her to the vet this weekend and she suggested trying a "high energy dog" dog food before putting her on the higher fat Hills diet. So I went and got some Nutro high energy dog food with some Iams gravy and she seems to be eating better (i'm sure because of the gravy
. Hopefully she'll put some wieght back on and start eating more regularly again. Thanks..........
