tripe is good to build your dogs up i use it and when the fields are high i feed my dogs on tripe so they get a good bit of weight then about 3wks till fields are cut then i stop feeding tripe then build them up with excercise try it mate its good stuff you can get it from any pet shop its about £6 for 10 blocks

I too would use Tripe mate,

 

Twelsh, I think if you're paying 60p a lb for minced tripe you're being ripped off mate.

this might be obvious but is the dog well. did you worm regular. i find that if the dog's worked and exercised hard give plenty of food. a bit of weight is better than underweight, only my opionion.

a good thing just to bang the weight back on is boiled meat and soaked biscuits in a thick gravy or like beef suiet but then you have to go through the fitness all over again an get back to a balanced diet

If it is unusual for the dog to lose weight for no reason then it might be a good idea to get it to the vets.

It wont matter what you are feeding it, if you are feeding just one large meal the dog will just poo out what it does not use, you need to feed several smaller meals to get it back up to normal then adjust the diet from there.

Always find minced chicken puts the weight on mine...
