Why is she skinny? You could try increasing the amount you feed her and/or increase the number of treats she gets.... if she's eating enough but not putting on or keeping on weight I would have her checked by a vet. Have you had her from puppyhood or is she recently adopted? How old is she? If recently adopted and came to you thin, it's best just to feed an adult diet, recommended amount on the package, and let the weight come on slowly and gradually. If you bump up the protein and fat you may cause other problems. If you've had her since she was a puppy, and now she just can't seem to maintain a good body weight, this can be indicative of a medical problem (Liver Shunt) and it would be best to have your vet rule this out, bc feeding her high fat/protein would be more harmful than good.
