Make sure Ruby is properly dewormed and feed her a high-quality large breed puppy food such as Royal Canin or Purina pro plan. Don’t be in a rush to put weight on her, she will gain it naturally. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

    Remember that side is most based on genetics (which you cannot affect) but things like parasites and poor nutrition can also affect the size. The best things you can do are to make sure she is kept parasite free and free a high quality, large breed puppy food like Royal Canin. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
