It’s alright to increase the food since she’s thin. I like to increase the amount of food at each meal if they are very hungry. I would also feed three meals daily until she’s at a normal weight. Very active dogs need much more food than usually recommended to grow and stay at a good weight. I adjust the food depending on your dog, not what it says on the bag.
