My dog is on Acana singles right now and she has put on some weight. Is royal canin mini weight control a good diet? I prefer Acana but is royal canin still ok? Why or why not?
Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Royal Canin is a great brand. It has been around for a very long time, and the company performs a large amount of testing to confirm that the food has the appropriate levels of nutrients. The weight control diet likely has a larger amount of fiber in it to keep Chloe satisfied longer. To help Chloe lose weight, you can also cut down the treats and replace with things like ice cubes, string beans, or baby carrots in small amounts. I hope this helps!

hello, i have been feeding my dog raw kiblets and would like to switch him to dry food. my vet suggested science diet however i noticed it has a lot of synthetic materials. i would like your opinion on this brand Acana. here are some of the ingredien
Acana is a good quality food, so I think that this is a good choice if you are going to switch him to dry food. That ingredient list is comprised of primarily meat along with some legumes such as peas, lentils, and beans which are often better than grains and carbohydrates to act as "filler."

Should I cut down on my dogs diet by 10 or 20% I want her to lose about 2.5 pounds. She's 18.5 pounds right now and I'm looking for her to be 16 pounds. Do I need to put her on a weight loss formula? She's on Acana singles currently and has been eati
You are correct that it is difficult to find a good quality weight loss diet. Good quality meats and fats are high in calories. At the end of the day, weight loss is about calories. So, a weight loss food is beneficial because they can eat the same amount of food. But you can achieve the same decrease in calories by feeding less of the Acana that you are currently feeding. A 10-20% decrease in daily calories is exactly what I recommend for weight loss, so you could simply decrease from a level 2/3 cup to heaping 1/2 cup for a month. If Chloe is losing weight, then continue at that amount. If she is not losing weight, then decrease to a level 1/2 cup. Since she is a small dog, it should take her a number of months to lose the weight, so don't be discouraged if she only loses a few ounces in that first month. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

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 bett
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.

Sydney is overweight at 62 lbs. What wet dog food is the best for management. How can I make comparison of different brands when shopping. Trying Purina focus w/m now.
Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. Firstly, good for you to get on top of Sydney's weight, once you get the weight under control Sydney will feel so much better! There are a few different products made for weight management, some of the best/most effective ones are the prescription diets. I personally like Hill's weight management diet, because the animals feel full but are getting less calories, and it also has joint support products in the food as well. You can try any company weight management food however, as any will work as long as you don't over-feed it. The best trick for this is to get a measuring up that is the amount you need to feed when it is FULL. Therefore you won't be tempted to 'just give a tiny bit more'. Measure the food out, and make sure everyone knows that Sydney is on a diet and doesn't get any treats! Remember, exercise is also important, to protect the knees in the start, try swimming with Sydney, it is great for the muscles and easy on the joints. Regul
