Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 20 days old | 15 lbs

I think she weighs about 30 to 35 pounds now. And i have tried to bump her food intake up and she still will not eat anymore than the 3cups.

If you need to put more weight on Sassy, make sure she is parasite free and feed her a higher calorie food. The information will be found on the nutrition label. Also make sure you are feeding her a very high quality food. I recommend Royal Canin. It has high quality, easy to digest protein which helps to build muscle. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
