Hello,
Earlier in the year my wife and I got a 2 month old English Mastiff from my mother in-laws shelter she's worked at for 20 years. He was spayed at 2 months due to the shelter rules so there was nothing I could do about that unfortunately. He's a great a dog we named him Tidus. He is 7 months old now but only weighs in at 74 pounds. Is that normal?
He has always eaten a lot of food within reason like 4-6 cups a day. For the past couple weeks he hasn't been eating that much. like 2-4 cups a day. He still seems playful and happy often but I was just wondering if maybe we need to switch his diet up now and get him off of the puppy food we have him on. We have been feeding him Wellness Large Breed Complete Health Puppy Recipe.
As far as treats and things go we give him 1 large breed Denta Stick everyday and Beggin Strips as a treat when he potty's. About 3 weeks ago we also started giving him 1 Pet Naturals Hip and Joint chews for XL dogs a day.
On top of him not eating as much as he was his back legs have seemed a little weak the past couple of weeks, I don't know if its growing pains or coincidence that it started happening around the time we started giving him the hip an joint chews.
Any advice would be much appreciated and helpful. Thank you very much
