Bob Whitehead always ran his GSP's real lean... like really lean. and they were healthy and performed. You can increase fat, the issue is Fat is to dogs what sugar is to us and the increased energy level often negates the effects!
Bones will never put fat on a dog.
I'd be inclined to get fat from the butcher to render and pour onto the dry food you are feeding. Unless there is a medical condition the dog will eat what it needs, even if it looks like a long distance runner. However there are possible medical considerations too like Pancreitis @ethos might be able to shed more light on this.

royal canin 4800.
try mixing up some bisto and pouring it over the mighty mix.
Musey, my dog had a similar issue.
My way around it was to get a Superior chunky dogroll dice it finely with a knife (or brake it up finely using your hands) and store it in an Icecream container in the freezer.
I'd take a handful of superior chunky each night to defrost and the following night using your hands I would grind/mix it together with the dry kibble before serving. I'd take another handfull out to defrost for the following night and so the cycle continued night after night.
Add just enough dog roll to give it flavor, I usually do a handfull of dog-roll, at a guess that would be about 50 grams.
The dog wasn't smart enough to lick the dog roll off the kibble, instead he ends up eating the whole kibble with dog roll flavor.
Problem solved!
Why do you freeze it Pete?
Superior chunky was going to be my suggestion too. It is great for fattening dogs but I can't leave mine on it too long they go silly on it. It's like giving kids a bucket of lollies each day.
However I haven't had to fatten any of them since using royal canin 4800. Feed it and be done
Would also suggest the Royal Canin 4800. If any of mine get a bit skinny during the shooting season, a few weeks on that stuff has them in great condition again.
Preservation for longer periods really.Quote:

The second reason being that I tend to get 2 dog rolls at a time and dice them up finely every couple of months, then I just take out a handful when needed.
Diced (or crumbled) will obviously defrost quicker. When I choose to give it to the dog I take out a hand full either the night before or right before our evening walk, by the time I'm back from the walk it would have defrosted.
Then its just a matter of throwing it in the pot together with the kibble, mash it up with your hands just to let some of the dog roll flavor stick to the kibble and serve it.
hot water and a bit of milk mate works a treat
Good stuff. We use a mix of roll, farmkill, and Eukanuba to keep the condition on our working dogs.Quote:
