At least in the United States, canine obesity is a major problem among pet dogs, so I would not recommend trying to put weight on your dog unless your veterinarian recommends it.

To get a dog to gain weight, you need to provide more calories than the dog is burning each day. One way to do this is increase the amount of food being fed per day by 1/4 c of food. You should carefully monitor your dog's weight while doing this, and cut back on the amount of food when your dog reaches an acceptable weight.
