My German Shepherd looks too thin. He is 6 and a half months old and I feed him three times a day. Can anyone recommend a correct diet chart for him along with what to give him in his diet?

6 Month Old German Shepherd
At 6 months of age, you can begin introducing live ingredients into your puppys diet.
Ingredients like crushed animal bones, pieces of chopped liver, and raw eggs are all vital to helping your puppy build up natural immunities, and provide them with the nutrients that theyre not going to be getting from their dry food diet.
You do not say if your puppy has been to the vet recently so if he has not been given a clean bill of health - I would suggest that as a first step.
The problem might be worms or parasites, not his diet. I would first worm him good and have him checked over by the vet.
German Shepherd Dogs are prone to EPI ( Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency) which means that they do not absorb the food that they eat. To test properly, a fasting blood test should be taken and sent to Texas A&M for testing/results. If your dog tests positive, the vet will prescribe enzymes and possibly B12 and an antibiotic.
