She’s 70 lbs, and the vet says she is in fantastic shape. She gets similar exercise in the back yard, some walks at night, and 3 kids under 8 to run around with. I do notice that she may not eat for a day, then eat 3 cups or so the following day. I assume she’s self regulating. I’d like her to feel more full, and pumping her with more food at 467 kcal/cup plus 42% protein seems to be a bad idea. I’m aware the Canine Caviar is higher kcal, but the 93% digestibility efficiency, and ingredients are attractive. I’ll be in the same boat, likely. We get nearly 7 weeks to a 30lb bag of Victor as it stands now. Is her overall energy level determined by the kcal or protein?
