Have you noticed that even though you’re feeding the same amount, when you change your pet’s food, they tend to gain or lose weight? Calories in pet foods can vary dramatically. For example, dry dog foods can range from just over 200 calories to more than 500 calories per cup! Make sure to compare the old food’s calories with those in the new food so you don’t underfeed or overfeed your pet.
