I am not sure the amount that you are feeding but he should be getting between 3 and 4 cups total a day. If he is not gaining weight then you could increase the amount that you are giving him. The food should provide all the necessary nutrients for a puppy. He should have a stool sample tested for parasites, even if he has been dewormed. There are some parasites that are not treated with the regular puppy dewormer and require a specific dewormer. If he still is not gaining weight then your vet will have to do a work up to determine the cause. Your vet can run lab-work to help diagnose the problem.

Mac does not need any supplement at his age, he gets everything he needs from the Royal Canin food, it already include all the vitamins and minerals he needs. you can feed him 4 times a day, it may help with weight gain.
