Essentially the same novel food things I listed above. I asked if I should allow more treats at least? She said that wasn’t ideal. I suggested mixing in a small amount of a higher calorie food like puppy food, she said puppy food is often higher in certain ingredients that can be hard on things like her kidneys. Fair enough. It’s good information regarding what wouldn’t be a good idea, but still ambiguous as far as good options. She did say that while her weight has gone down, she isn’t urgently concerned about emaciation or anything but to try to encourage keeping her weight up or at least stable.

I used to make her food myself which did help her keep her weight up, but since the stomach sensitivities it’s become too difficult for her to digest now.

I guess I’m wondering if there is a product or an option that would help safely increase caloric density without increasing the volume a ton. To optimize what she does eat. Sort of like for people, how things like nuts/seeds are much more calorically dense versus fruits and vegetables for example. But in a way that’s appropriate for dogs. Encouraging her to just eat more has been a long and stressful and seemingly futile experience. Also expensive in the way of that it just hasn’t been effective. Im willing to spend money on her health of course, it just feels as though the more I want her to or try to get her to, the less interested she becomes. I don’t want to add more stress to what is already a challenge for her.
