The amounts in the table are intended as guidelines only. The food intake should be adjusted according to the age, weight, breed, temperature, climate and activity level of your dog. Consult a veterinarian for specific weight recommendations.
Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!
When switching your dog’s diet, we recommend transitioning from the current diet to our Fat Dogs® Formula over a 10 day period. Replace 10% of the current diet with our Fat Dogs® Low Calorie Dry Dog Food each day until they are fully transitioned. If you do not have any of your current formula to mix, reduce the amount of Fat Dogs® Formula fed for the first few days, feeding smaller more frequent meals and increase over time. Do not free feed.

My dog Chompie who is a Cocapoo rececently had Pancreatitis.Of course he hated all his perscription diet low fat foods.I tried this on the thought it was low fat low calorie and made by Natural Balance.To my surprise he was very interested in eating it! He now eats it twice a day.I add some canned vegetarian food from Natural Balance and he went crazy over it! He now eats every bite! I do not understand how he loves the Vegan canned food, but he does and eats every drop! He is also battling Valley Fever so he takes his Fluconazole medicine in a piece of the Vegan canned food out of my hand!! I highly recommend this food!

This is the second time I’m using this brand & type for a second dog. This helped my first dog lose enough weight at a gradual scale back to her baseline & now using it for my second dog. She has less than 10 lbs to lose, but I know that this food works. My dog is an almost 80 lb golden retriever & we give her 1 cup of Fat Dog kibble + 2 tablespoons of any low fat(less than 5% fat) wet food, along with 1/2 cup frozen mixed veggies, cooked to warm/soften. We feed her 2x/day.

I've used Natural Balance for all my dogs, and now have a dog that is low to the ground... total mixed bread dog that needs to be cautious of her weight due to possible back issues in older years. So keeping her somewhat on the thinner side has been hard, she didn't like anything that was lower calorie and I decided to try this food for her and she's in love. No more picking at the food and coming to me for treats to supplement her lack of interest or adding a flavored powder to get her to eat. I'll be sticking with Natural Balance foods for the foreseeable future.

My dog (a 12 year old Shih Tzu) has a lot of allergies (rice, eggs, dairy, beef, pork, etc, etc.) and a history of pancreatitis and hypothyroidism. He was starting to get a little pudgy and since he has skin problems, ear infections and coat issues from the allergies and thyroid problem I have to keep him on a limited ingredient food. Other than the dried egg in this food, which doesn't seem to cause any significant issues, it has the limited ingredients he can eat. It has helped get his weight down and he loves it. I highly recommend it.

I have 2 Labs and a Golden Retriever, and none of them will touch this food and I've offered it to them now for about 2-3 weeks. I always have another flavor of food available for them, and that's the one they keep eating. They just won't eat this, which is a shame because I had hoped by giving them an option they might occasionally eat this one and help them keep in shape. None of them are terribly heavy, but this is really expensive stuff for them not to eat it!

Diamond is a little overweight. I bought the Natural Balance Low Calorie Dry Dog Food for the first time. Right now I’m mixing it with her regular dry dog food to get her system acclimated. Diamond loves it so much she only eats it and leaves her old food in the bowl.

My dog was very overweight, and always hungry. I started this food and she loves it and does not beg for food (as much) as she used to. It really has a lot of fiber and keeps her full. The best part is she lost 20 lbs. she is a great dane lab and was #149 and now #129 in about 5 months time. If your pet needs to lose weight I highly recommend this food.

My vet recommended a lower calorie, less fat dog food for my pup. His blood is "fatty" making it difficult to get accurate readings on his labwork. We purchased a specialized dog food designed by nutritionists, it was quite expensive...since we have 2 other dogs also, it is most economical to purchase one large bag that ticks most of the boxes for all of them. We decided to try this brand. They love it but I'm not quite sure we are getting our desired result from purchasing this brand yet. I'll let you know after my pup's next round of labwork.

But my dog didn't dig it .... so he lost weight because he wouldn't eat it ... as a matter of fact, he picked it out of his food when we were transitioning. I don't know how to get my fat dog slim :(

We are so happy with this vet recommended food. Our 7 year old Lab had 15# to lose. He is down 12# in 3 months, and is moving like a puppy again. We increased walks and it did the job! Our Toy Poodle had 1# to lose and he is now fit as a fiddle! They love the food, their coats are shiny, and I will continue feeding this food as long as it is available. Thank you!
