Gaining weight has never been a problem around here...we joke about my girls having 'butt cheeks'! They aren't overweight though...they're just healthy!

However, the 2 boys I just got need to gain a little so I have added puppy food to their diet along with their regular kibble...it has more calories and can be added and removed later. I feed them a scrambled egg over their kibble for breakfast a couple of times a week and at supper time I add some cooked lean ground beef, a little cooked pasta and veggies a couple times a week...they also get bites of banana and apple. Also, I noticed when I was feeding a home cooked diet with veggies, chicken and rice they added weight quickly.

I would be careful adding treats to her diet...she may get so used to the extra treats that she will go off her food and that wouldn't be good. I think I would try just adding a few things to her kibble and then gradually take them out when she has gained enough weight.
