Power Chews Weight Gain Supplement
Verified Aug 26, 2026
A high-calorie, very high-fat chew supplement designed to help dogs gain weight and support higher energy needs. It uses bacon fat, chicken, eggs, and plant oils as major calorie sources, and includes added omega-3s, fiber, and multiple probiotic strains to support gut health. This is meant to be used alongside a complete dog food for dogs who need extra calories or have trouble keeping weight on.

Top Pick
This is a calorie-dense weight-gain supplement with a strong emphasis on fat calories and added probiotics rather than a complete diet. It can be useful for underweight, very active, or working dogs who need extra energy on top of their regular balanced food. Because it is extremely high in fat and includes chicken, egg, and bacon fat, it’s best suited for dogs without a history of pancreatitis or fat intolerance and without chicken or egg allergies.

Strengths
- Very high fat (55% min) and moderate protein (20% min) provide a concentrated calorie source, which can help dogs who struggle to maintain weight or have high energy demands.
- Multiple fat sources including bacon fat, chicken fat, palm fruit oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, and marine microalgae supply a mix of fatty acids, including omega-3s for skin, coat, and general health support.
- Includes fiber (powdered cellulose, flaxseed, oat flour) and a blend of probiotic strains that may help support digestive health while increasing calorie intake.
- Soft chew format with defined dosing (by body weight) makes it easy to add controlled extra calories on top of a regular diet.
Considerations
- This is a supplement, not a complete and balanced dog food, so it should only be fed in addition to a regular, nutritionally complete diet.
- The very high fat level may not be appropriate for dogs with a history of pancreatitis, fat intolerance, or certain metabolic conditions; those dogs generally need lower-fat options.
- Contains chicken and whole egg, which are common food allergens, so it is not a good choice for dogs with known chicken or egg allergies.
- Bacon fat and multiple added fats make this quite rich; introducing it too quickly or in excessive amounts could lead to digestive upset in some dogs, so a gradual introduction and adherence to dosing is important.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Bacon Fat
Bacon fat is typically added to pet foods and treats as a palatability enhancer and concentrated source of dietary fat and calories, which can also aid absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins. However, because it is high in saturated fat, sodium and may contain curing residues, excessive use can promote obesity, pancreatitis (particularly in dogs) and other health issues, so it should be used sparingly and balanced with healthier sources of essential fatty acids and antioxidants to prevent rancidity.
02
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.

03
Palm Fruit Oil
Palm fruit oil is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a concentrated fat source to boost energy density, improve palatability, and help with kibble texture and coating. It provides calories and fat‑soluble antioxidants (tocopherols/tocotrienols and, in red palm oil, carotenoids), but is high in saturated fat so should be used in moderation—especially for overweight pets or those prone to pancreatitis—and consumers may wish to look for products that use sustainably sourced palm oil.
04
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is used as a concentrated fat source and palatability enhancer in dog and cat diets, providing medium-chain triglycerides (notably lauric acid) that can be rapidly metabolized for energy and may help support skin and coat condition. Because it is high in saturated fat and calories, coconut oil should be used sparingly and introduced gradually to avoid gastrointestinal upset, and pets with obesity or a history of pancreatitis should only use it under veterinary guidance.
05
Marine Microalgae
Marine microalgae are used in pet foods primarily as a sustainable, plant‑based source of long‑chain omega‑3 fatty acids (especially DHA, and sometimes EPA), along with small amounts of protein, pigments and micronutrients. They can support skin and coat condition, cognitive development (DHA is essential for growing kittens and beneficial for adult cats) and anti‑inflammatory health in dogs and cats, but quality, standardized omega‑3 content and third‑party purity testing are important because palatability, dosing and sourcing can vary.
