What’s a good healthy way to get you’re dog to gain weight? She’s completely healthy we recently just went to the vet I just have such a hard time putting weight on her

Getting her spayed would definitely be the most effective and easiest way, if this isn't something you would consider then i would recommend switching to a better quality food such as Orijen, Acana or Taste of the wild.
