Thank you for more information on your pet! Your dog should be getting a high quality dog food such as Royal Canin or Hills Science diet. I would also have him seen by a vet, as there could be a medical illness behind him being so thin such as intestinal worms or an inability to digest nutrients properly. The vet can diagnose if there is a medical illness causing him to be so thin, and can prescribe treatment for him.
