Calories: reducing body weight

These lower calorie foods can help dogs tummies feel full, while lower their weight overall and trimming their waistlines. Especially helpful for older dogs who can gain weight easily because they tend to be less active.

Reheat and mash or puree foods for improved digestion and nutrient absorption. Why? Dogs digestive system is different from humans. -- Method of cooking will influence caloric total. -- Reduce portion of regular food (and total caloric intake) by replacing with one of these lower calorie options.
