Underweight dogs can be associated with certain diseases of internal organs such as the liver or pancreas.
First and foremost, of course, contact your veterinarian. He will prescribe your dog tests (clinical and biochemical analysis of blood and fecal analysis). If they identify diseases of the internal organs, the vet will prescribe your dog medication and pick her a suitable diet.

Perhaps the dog loses weight because of the defeat of the body by helminths. It can also determine the veterinarian, looking at the results of the tests. If it is, buy an anthelmintic drug (it will also help you find the right vet) and give it to my dog. Usually after the solution of this problem to the dog's appetite is coming back, and she quickly gains the necessary weight.

If your dog all right, maybe you should reconsider her diet.
If you feed your pet natural food, do not forget that the dog is primarily a carnivore! When feeding natural food, the dog food take feed, rich in proteins of animal origin – meat, fish and dairy products.

But note that the wheat should be thoroughly tenderize) and then add in the cereal, chopped meat, offal or fish. Meat dogs you can give beef and chicken. Beef is given either a steam room or a well-frozen. Chicken before feeding make sure to remove all bones. Let's fish oceanic, pre-privaris it slightly and remove all bones.
