Try adding canned green beans or canned pumpkin to her 2 cups of kibble. Will help her feel fuller without adding any calories.

She is use to getting 4 cups dry, (she is 86 lbs and for her at 7y.o that is overweight) i have cut it down to 2 cups dry, and she thinks i'm abusing her. Which makes me sad, so i'm asking you guy's what is a good quality dry food ( that senior dogs like to eat ) to change her to where she can consume more and not feel hungry, but have good protein, vitamins/minerals but less fat for Seniors?
