How to Feed a Skinny Min Pin Dog

Miniature Doberman pinschers, or min pins, are naturally thin. To keep yours from gaining too much weight, monitor his daily food intake, and never feed him table scraps. According to the Miniature Pinscher website, the most your min pin should weigh is 11 pounds. Select a dog food formulated for small dogs, which will contain the nutrients your dog needs to maintain his proper weight. Regular exercise will also keep your min pin's weight under control.
