My 7 Month Old Basset Hound Puppy Doesnt Eat Enough,any suggestions or ideas?

Okay - first of all, at 7 months, some Bassets, especially males, do go through a long and lanky stage. One of my boys looked like two boards clapped together around 18 months (not at 7 months), but by the time he was 2, he'd blossomed. You need to check his bloodlines (I'll open my email contact, so you can tell me. If you are in the UK, I may know!!) Secondly, you are right to switch him from Beta which isn't the greatest, much as my Whippet was reared on this. I took her off after she finished the first bag, and had her on Burns puppy for a while, and then to their adult.

Whatever you do, don't feed him a high protein diet - more, with this breed, most definitely isn't better. He needs, at this age, to be on something around 26% protein. I can recommend Burns (one of mine had a sensitive tummy, but did brilliantly on their Venison and Rice diet). I can also recommend Arden Grange which again isn't overly high in protein. I am assuming you are in the UK? I also add just a very small amount of Butchers Tripe mix in with the complete, and add a little warm water to mix it all in. Flavour!! And Bassets/hounds generally, love Tripe!!

He can have treats, just not human-food treats. Give him Bonio biscuits - I also give mine Fish4Dogs, which is a natural food, and they love it.

Please contact me, if you like. I may be able to help more.

ps I'm assuming you have had a fecal test done, to make sure he's not wormy, or carrying a protozoa - too many these days have Giardia - as I learnt to my disgust with my last buy-in!!

Add - You really should be feeding him twice a day, breakfast and tea as our breed is one that's prone to Bloat. Split the daily amount into two - and don't feed for 1 hour after exercise, and don't exercise for 2 hours after feeding.
