What should I look for in a food to put weight on?

Hello again!

Rufus has been with us for 5 weeks now, and is very slowly putting weight on. Very slowly... I was wondering what sort of things I should be looking for in a feed to help him put some fat on those bones of his!

Thanks in advance!

What are you feeding currently? As a general guide any good quality meat based dry food, split over 3 smaller meals with added sardines in oil will help pack weight on.
Alternatively raw fed dogs tend to find their natural weight more readily than dry fed dogs, extra muscle meat like lamb mince should pack on the pounds.
