Evo contains more fat and calories than most other grain free foods I'm aware of, so maybe that's why he's pudgy? I fed NV Instinct for a long time and was very happy with it, but I noticed most of my gang packed on a few ounces. Here's a little schedule I did for myself when I was researching their weight gain:
Evo Red Meat 22% fat, 527 cal
NV Instinct 22% fat, 482 cal
Acana 18% fat, 430 cal
Fromm Grainfree 19% fat, 410 cal
TOTW 15% fat, 360 cal
I switched to TOTW, and am now on Acana. None of them have had a weight problem since.
I did want to point out, since I don't know which Evo you're feeding, that the Evo Herring is much lower in fat and calories than the other Evo varieties. It only has 18.6% fat and 456 cal, so if you prefer to feed Evo maybe that would be an option for you?
I obtained all of these figures directly from the manufacturer's websites, and they're all based on a one cup serving size.
Good luck!
