Alright, need some help from some of you non-kibble folks. I feed canidae and I like what it does for my dogs. My female is really highly active, a mal go figure <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> I have put her in a smaller kennel so that she can't burn off as much calories, pacing, running and jumping in the kennel. Well, now that it's starting to get a little cold at night I of course can see more weight coming off. I don't want to stop feeding her canidae, so what is a high source of fat that I can add to her kibble during this winter?

Lard
A spoonful of lard a night before you go to bed will maintain weight and help the dog maintain body heat during the night.
That's an old timer tip. My grandfather gave his dogs a spoonful of lard every night during the winters in Idaho when they were outside in their kennels.
We do it here when it's really cold. (which is anything 32 degrees or lower here in the temperate Pacific NorthWest)
a lot of grocery stores sell it as suet to feed birds in the wintertime.
If you have a meat processing facility or a grocery store that cuts their own meat, call ahead and ask them to save it for you in the freezer. The stuff we get looks pretty good actually, with a bit of meat still attached. The butcher told me they save us the extra fat trimmings from the roasts and steaks. I wanted to make sure they weren't giving us the rancid junk that they would normally throw away.
we cut it into chunks and add it to the daily raw portion for the dogs here at Leerburg.
usually 4-6 ounces/day in the really cold weather for our breeding dogs.

Robert, Andres, Cindy,
Thanks for the replies. As you can tell I don't know my way around a kitchen very well. I'v been married and in the military for 11yrs, I just eat whatever the hell people give me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Not to mention I'm born and raised in southern Louisiana, I thought fried catfish and smothered chicken where the gravy for rice is made from grease and flower mixed and burned together, hell I thought that was eating lean and mean <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> THANKS GUYS
