barkley... just don't watch i know i never could if your puppy needs to plump up a bit, i suggest letting him eat as much as he wants for a week or so, and if his stools are still good, then he just needs more food for a while (some eat up to 5% or more of their body weight during the growth spurts). you can feed high-caloric meats such as regular ground beef or pork, add some olive oil to his meals, add full-fat cottage cheese or yogurt, i like to give them treats such as peanut-butter or cream cheese on whole wheat bread, or choose denser meats such as lamb, goat, beef and pork... canned fish also works very well!

good luck and you should see some weight gain soon, if you let your boy eat as much as he wants
