Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 73 lbs

My dog needs to lose weight, I want to make sure whatever food I switch her to, will actually help her to lose some pounds. I'm torn between science diet perfect weight & earthborn weight control? Which would be a better fit for weight loss?

The science diet perfect weight is a very high quality food. I personally would prefer this food over the other one as I am not so fond of grain free foods. Also the label "holistic" really means nothing. With the science diet you have solid research behind the formulation and know that your dog will not lack any nutrients. Make sure that Cali also gets enough exercise to help with losing weight.
