My dog has began walking with my partner everyday while he works and has now lost a considerable amount of weight. She is now really boney. I would like to know weather her weight loss is from the increased exercise or something else. She has just finished being on heat.
Loss of weight

If she is underweight then feed her up using a fatty diet, for example tripe from the butcher. It would be worth weighing her on the scales at your local vet, so that you know whether weight loss is subjective or actual, and can monitor it more accurately. Weight loss is also a feature of many diseases, so a clinical examination by a vet would be wise nevertheless.
Good luck
