My dog needs weight loss food. Is Purina OM with corn/soy okay?

Question

Hi it was recommended to try OM Purina Weight Management for my 9.2 Poodle mixfrom this site. To my surprise first ingredients are corn meal and soy and soy and some type flour I read soy is bad unless organic and this isn't a grain free food. Please advise Thank you for your help Karrey.

I can't see your original post, but I suspect you were looking for a low calorie weight loss food. Unfortunately, many of the higher quality foods are very calorie dense and bio-available, so you will have to feed less of those foods. Purina OM has some ingredients that people consider fillers which are high fiber and help to make the food less calorie dense. While many people prefer a grain free diet, very few of the prescription diets are grain free. Since I see that you live in the Bay Area, I might consider going to Pet Food Express and discussing your options with them. They have been very useful for my clients. I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
