    Most dogs will eat all they need. If her ribs aren't showing, you don't have a problem. If she won't eat enough to keep the ribs from showing more than a little, see the vet.

    As long as she is in good health, she will eat what she needs as Labman said. I'm assuming she is a large breed if she is eating that much per day. Does she look unhealthy to you? I'm just curious as to why you would want her to bulk up?
