Royal Canin is an excellent quality food! I would feed Ceasar according to package instructions, and that will help him gain weight in a slow and safe manner. You can supplement his diet by giving him hard boiled eggs as a treat once or twice a week (no egg shells), and some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts a few times a week as a treat.
