Gunner needs to put on healthy lbs

How can I tell if Gunner needs to put on some weight? I go back and forth on whether or not he needs to put on some lbs or not. He has a broad rib cage that goes in quite dramatically more towards his hips, almost like a dobie or greyhound. In some positions when he sits I think, OH MY, he really needs FOOD! But then most of the time he looks perfectly fine. He is lean and starting to fill out more, should I increase in a little to be on the safe side?

I have also just switched his food to Eagle Pack Holistic select Lamb meal and Rice. (I will be mixing)He was previously on Nutro and Canidae. I have also been looking into different varieties of "treats" to add every so often to his diet such as beef lung and tracheas. I dont want him to to get "fat" though. He gets a moderate amount of excersise has a good energy level, and is still growing (about 13-14 months)

Thanks for input!
