Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is a decent amount of weight to lose in 7 months. A diet change, especially cutting out table food, can cause weight loss. The question only you can answer is, was Marble overweight in July? And is she fit now? If she is an ideal weght now make sure she can maintain that weight. If her appetite changes, she starts having GI problems or starts to drink and pee more age should be examined and have blood work ran. I hope this helps!
