Three high fat recipes to help your dog gain weight or maintain their weight during extended periods of high intensity exercise. Be sure to leave out any ingredients known to be problematic for your dog, and make sure that the weight loss is not caused by medical issues.

Put all ingredients into a large bowl and mix together. Roll into one inch balls and freeze. Depending on the size of your dog, you can feed one (or more) ball(s) per day together with its regular meal. Feel free to add or substitute any ingredients as you see fit!
