my dog needs to gain some weight

He gained about 5 kgs since we adopted him but he's still a bit skinny. He was screened by our vet and he's ok, so I guess he just needs a fortified diet for a while. I am currently feeding him with a mix of dry and wet organic food and add also some raw chopped meat. I make him exercise alot (swim and retrieve on ground too) so maybe this also helps keeping his weight done. Any hint on a energetic diet is welcome

Sounds like he is eating pretty well and flat coats are always pretty lean.

yep, maybe he's just a different line (he comes from sweden). The other flats I saw here are a bit bulkier than him, whilst he's taller and more muscle built than them.
