Rambo does not appear to be "too skinny". He appears nicely proportioned, you can't see his ribs and he has a waist. Weigh him regularly to confirm loss or gain. His diet isn't completely appropriate for a large breed dog. You may supplement with eggs, curds and some chapati, but he should be eating a good quality dog food. Brands include Royal Canin, Acana, Canidae and ProPlan.
