Are you feeling frustrated trying to feed your whippet?

Diet & Nutrition: Fueling a Graceful Athlete
Whippets are lean, muscular dogs, and their diet should support their active bodies. The choices at the pet store can be overwhelming, but the most important thing is to choose a high-quality food. Look for one that lists a named meat source as the first ingredient and is formulated for their life stage (puppy, adult, senior). Because whippets have such a low-fat body composition, it’s easy for them to become underweight. Regularly monitor their body condition—you should be able to easily feel their ribs, but not see them protruding sharply.
I cannot emphasize enough, how important it is for a puppies growth & future health to get the right nutrition in from the start. I made the mistake of assuming this was as simple as, provide your beautiful whippet puppy with the recommended best quality kibble & watch her thrive.
Unfortunately, life is not always this simple. I quickly learned that whippets can be prone to having a sensitive stomach and even allergies to particular proteins.
