I don't give my dog the "wet" type of food that comes in a can. I will put out a scoop for him and leave it so he can eat whatever he wants. The funny thing is that the vet told me he needed to gain weight when he was younger. I told him the food was down and my dog could eat anytime, he's just very hyper and active. I have an 8 pound toy poodle, at the time he was 7.5 pounds. So back then I would occasionally give him the canned dog food to try to get him to gain weight, but I wouldn't leave that out. He never did gain weight, not a single ounce! So I stopped giving him that too and the vet said he must just be that way naturally. I thought the whole thing was kind of funny. My dog's ribs weren't showing or any signs that he was starving or anything. He's gained a half of a pound now that he's 9 years old and doesn't have all that puppy energy. But he's still slim and has always been slim. That's how the toy poodle I had growing up was too.
