Hi,
I have a 16lb orange tabby who is pretty overweight. He is a big cat but this he is too heavy now. When he was ideal I would say he weight 12-13 lbs. On the weight charts I would say he is between 7-8 on a weight scale chart. I recently changed his food to help him lose weight but I feel like he is getting heavier. I went from just 1.32oz of wet per day and unlimited dry science diet adult dry to what is listed below:
Now I feed him what equals out to 2.64 oz of wet food usually Nutro Perfect Portions (different variety) of wet food per day. I also feed him 1/4 cup of Wellness Core Grain Free Dry (Turkey/Chicken) and 1/4 cup Hills Science Diet Adult Light dry food. He usually has eaten all his dry food up by mid day and I will feed at night. I feed one portion wet in the morning and one portion we at night. He will beg for more food when his dry runs out.
I am unable to make his food and cannot cut out dry completely due to my schedule. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, I wouldn't say he is crazy about the Wellness Core Grain Free dry food. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a dry food that is healthy? Thank you.
