I got my rescue lurcher, Dixie, almost six months ago and, like all new pawrents, immediately set out on a crusade to get her as healthy as I possibly could. She wasn’t in bad condition but had struggled to keep weight on in the past and her spine and ribs were quite prominent (not unusual for a sighthound, as they tend to be lean).
Dixie has a combination of wet dog food and dry dog food, twice a day in a 50/50 split. She is terrible for not drinking much water, which always worries me, so I was soaking her kibble in water before giving it to her, to improve her hydration levels.
