Is switching to lower calorie dog food better for my Golden Retriever?

Question

Hey there, I’m currently feeding my golden retriever 80 lbs, healthy weight salmon performatrin ultra with 376 cals per cup. Would it benefit me to switch her over to Royal Canin golden formula as it has 276 cals per cup! Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | spayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 80 lbs

Hello, the calorie per cup measurement in any dog food means that if your dog needs to eat 500 calories per day then you'll be giving overall less amount of food to meet his caloric demand with the food that has more calories per cup. With either food, you will have to meet his daily caloric demand. What this means for you, is that you'll likely go through the dog food with less calories per-cup much quicker than the dog food that is more dense in calories per cup. Hope this helps and best of luck.
