What can I feed my skinny dog to help her gain healthy weight?

Question

Hello I own a small spayed female chow mix. I’ve had her for two years. Shes very high strung and gets nervous and stressed out easily. She’s been very skinny since I got her. I’ve spent a lot of money on high calorie stuff to mix in her food, have tried high protein ect and she won’t gain. How can I make her gain some weight in the healthy way? She’s currently eating Nature’s Recipe Chicken and Pumpkin because that’s all she likes. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 40 lbs

First make sure she doesn't have parasites and you may consider testing her pancreas as well. It's always best to rule out a medical reason. Otherwise feed her the highest calorie food you can find. Purina ProPlan makes a Sport formula and it has one of the highest calories and contains high quality protein. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
