I have a hovawart that i need to fatten.I feed him only,raw chicken without veggies or anything else cos he won't eat it.How much chicken,is he suppose to eat ?.His ideal weight should be 95 pds but he only weighs 85.Tanks,l:)

HOw old is he? If he is not yet 2 yrs then maybe he just hasn't filled out yet.

Any dog will not do well on just one item to eat. If feeding raw u must feed veggies chopped or pureed up along with supplement they do not get in just raw meat.
Make sure he is worm free also and add some organs also and best you study the RAW diet to know for certain what the dog needs or should have http://www.rawlearning.com/rawfaq.html
Please read this site on feeding RAW diet for dogs n cats.

Also, another very informative site I have come across is http://www.rawdogranch.com It is true that just chicken is not a balanced diet for a dog.

Forgot to mention that he normally eats innova evo,once a day,but he will barely eat a cup which is not enough food for him.I supplement his food with chicken .Thanks for yr help.L
