It recommends 1.6oz for Ryder and 3.6 for Ranger.. but I am assuming that is to be divided into two feedings. If I was trying to get weight on, would that be too much for one feeding?
Maybe he just hasn't found the right chewy yet - a denta stix maybe? You could get larger bones (non-consumable) for him to try. Canine Caviar Sticks? Those are healthy.

The 1.6 is probably for his daily intake...but...if you want him to gain weight, I'd probably go back to the calculator and put in his "ideal" weight. So, maybe his total intake would then say 2.0 (for example); then, for dinner you'd give 1.0 oz .
