Dale,

I don't have a problem with feeding dogs that aren't seeming to handle cold weather well. I have to respectfully disagree with you about feeding a healthy dog more food just to fit a person's misguided view on how much weight a coon hound should carry.

Overfeeding a healthy young dog that is just plain skinny (no prominent hip bones) that a vet has given a clean bill of health will result in only one thing. The owner will be doing more shoveling.

Yes his hips and ribs are showing but he has a clean bill of health
I'm thinking it is a high metabolism

I've have been mixing in dry milk replacer, an ounce per dog, and my dogs are eating less feed and look better. Have a couple that are hard to keep weight on and they are very slick and healthy looking now.
