How can I reduce my dog's calories while keeping her satisfied?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 5 years and 5 months old | 17 lbs

I'm wanting to cut down on my dogs calories. Right now I'm feeding Acana singles which have 392 calories per cup I'm considering switching to natural balance lid fish formula because the food has 350 calories per cup. I personally think Acana is better but I don't want her to be hungry if I need to decrease it. Should I switch or stick with Acana?

I agree with you regarding Acana vs Natural balance, it is a better quality food. why not switch her to Acana light & fit, it is a reduced calorie diet, it will contain less calories than the natural balance and you will keep the high quality of the Acana.
