Can anyone help me figure this out? OLIVER JUST HAD PATELLA SURGERY AND THE SURGEON WANTS HIM TO BE ON A 150 CALORIE PER DAY DIET. HE NEEDS TO BE AT ABOUT 7LBS. HE IS 8.3 NOW. HOW THE HECK DO YOU FIGURE OUT THE CALORIES WHEN THE BAG SAYS THIS:Calories Analysis This food contains 3,180 kcal per kilogram or 325 kcal per cup ME (metabolizable energy) on an as fed basis (calculated). THIS IS THE WELLNESS WEIGHT CONTROL DRY DOG FOOD I THINK I AM BRAIN DEAD!! ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED!!:) |

I am not sure.. I would think that you should feed 1/2 cup???? That seems such a small amount for his size |

Thank you so much! You guys are the best....i dont know what is wrong with my brains anymore, but, they just dont seem to be working!!:confused: Oliver is doing well, considering all he has been through! He is very confined...doctor says nothing but potty on leash and back in the crate! For 8 weeks until he sees him again. That is hard for him, but he is getting used to it for now. I do however, just set aside times of the day to just sit with him on my lap (harness on and fingers through it!) When i take him to potty, he walks well to find that oh so special spot! It is wonderful to see both legs looking strong. :) |
I hope he continues to improve!!! And I can sympathize on dieting...it s-cks. LOL. I have never looked at the ingrediants on Wellness low calorie foods...but you may want to compare the calories against a regular bag. I know in other "diet" formulas...it's loaded with fillers and the dog gets hungry faster. Maybe that's not the case with wellness. |
