        This subject came quite a while back, and someone on the list 
recommended    
Bil-Jac Puppy as having the highest calorie per cup concentration. I was 
having a hard time getting weight on both of my dogs. Bella had lost a lot of 
weight from battling her worst summer to date on allergies, and I thought 
Jordy would benefit with a little more weight in the show ring. I tried 
mixing Iams or Langs canned with the Bil-Jac Puppy for about 6-8 months, and 
can tell you that it did put weight on both of my pyrs. Charlie
