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.

she is skinny because she doesn't like to eat. she never did.
