Is Petaluma good for dogs who need to lose weight?Updated 11 hours ago

Petaluma can be a good fit. Our recipes are rich in fiber, which helps dogs feel full, and they're protein-rich without the excess fat found in many meat-based foods. Our senior recipe has the fewest calories of our baked foods, at 365 kcal per cup.

The most important step is measuring each meal. Our adult and senior portion guides show how much to feed, and you can feed toward your dog's goal weight. Keep treats under 10% of daily calories, and weigh your dog every few weeks so you can adjust.

If your dog needs to lose a lot of weight, ask your vet for a target and a timeline.
