well i personally would recommend a higher quality food. Science diet is not nearly as bad as Purina or Iams but it is n't the best... they tned to have fillers and bi products. i bet if you changed to a higher quality food (wellness, solid gold, Merricks, Orijen) you would notice a difference. She would eat less because her body is using more of the kibble and she would go to the bathroom less as well. Also, try feeding her in small meals throughout the day. it is easy to get them to gain weight.. it is hard to get them to loose it!
