My dog is skinny and won't eat. How can I help him gain weight?

Question

So he’s had two physicals last year, the first one he was 8.6 pounds and then the second he was 8.2 pounds. He’s lost a lot of weight and I feel like he’s still too skinny and we’ve switched between like four different dog food and he doesn’t seem to have an appetite. He eats a little bit but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help him eat more and gain his healthy weight back. Right now he’s eating Caesar dry filet mignon flavour dog food.

I personally don't feel Caesar is one of the best supermarket brands of food. I would try him on Purina One, which is the best of the supermarket brands in my opinion. Best sure to do the switch slowly to avoid GI upset. I hope this helps!
