I am sorry that Beast is a little thin. The ideal weight of a dog should be where you can easily feel his ribs but you cannot see them by just looking at them. Also they should have a waist when you look down on them and from the side (it should have a curve from the chest to the abdomen). So unless you are seeing ribs or hip bones then I would not change his diet. If he is truly thin then I would increase the amount of dog food that you are feeding him and you can also add some plain boiled chicken (no bones, no skin, no butter/seasonings) over his food to help increase his calories.
