recommendations for putting on weight - Page 2

Does anyone know of any reason NOT to feed a Satin Ball to a 9 month old puppy who is currently at his max kibble intake and just not putting on weight?

I was feeding a 4  month old pup raw diet,  he was 2nd gen. raw fed.  He ate just fine one night,  the next day he refused his meal  and would only drink some water.  I didn't worry too much about it, I had started introducing a little liver a couple times a week and it didn't set to well with him.  but he kept refusing meals,  and started to not even keep water down.
I had been feeding chicken quarters to him.  not sure if it was cause he was teething and didn't really chew up the soft bones (he was my first raw fed dog,  and he was a gulper, didn't really want to chew) ,  just swallowed them, or if he had even eaten a stick outside,  but something punctured his intestines and I lost him.    he was bleeding out from the inside.

his breeder still feeds raw and most people I've talked to don't have any issue's with it either.  I'm just afraid to try it again and risk losing another dog.

I can see why you would be reluctant to feed raw. You could always go ground. I usually feed the meat ground. One dog could eat rocks so I feed the bones to him not ground. Others only get ground.
