is this ok to feed long-term?

Answer by ChewySep 09, 2018
This food can be fed for both weight loss and weight maintenance once your dog has reached an ideal weight.

How many cups are in a 28 lb bag?

Answer by ChewyNov 30, 2022
The 5-pound bag contains about 22 cups of kibble, the 15-pound bag contains about 65 cups of kibble, and the 28-pound bag contains about 121 cups of kibble.

The fat content is 7.5% minimum, what is the max?

Answer by ChewyJul 03, 2019
The recipes are formulated to target the minimum fat content that is provided in the Guaranteed Analysis, any deviation from this as-fed percentage would be minimal. Please speak with your veterinarian to ensure this value is low enough to be a suitable diet for your pet.

how long is the shelf life after opened?

Answer by ChewyMay 10, 2022
Manufacturers establish “best by” dates to ensure the safety of your pet. Look for the expiration date on the back or bottom of your pet's food bag or cans, and plan to use up the food before that date.

This is great dog food for weight loss. My little guy tends to be chunky (my bad), so keeping him on a maintenance-level healthy weight food works pretty well. When his weight is up, I use half of his regular food with this Fat Dog kibble to get back on track. He likes it and doesn't even notice the change. The ingredients are recognizable, chicken, salmon, fish, fruit and veg, along with extra fiber and vitamins. That extra fiber seems to keep him fuller. Pieces of the kibble are good for treats, too.

Vet visit surprise

Our girl had put on a few pounds since her last vet visit. I tried this and another brand we often feed and she preferred this one. She’s not searching every corner

Our girl had put on a few pounds since her last vet visit. I tried this and another brand we often feed and she preferred this one. She’s not searching every corner for a snack and hopefully we will see her figure return.

Works for weight loss

My dog has been on this for nearly 8 months now, and she’s lost 7 lb, and that’s with less exercise and still getting some treats. So the food absolutely works!

My dog has been on this for nearly 8 months now, and she’s lost 7 lb, and that’s with less exercise and still getting some treats. So the food absolutely works! The kibble is a good size for large dogs too. However she’s always had problems with chicken. I am glad the food worked for her weight loss, but her skin has been breaking out in itchy patches since switching to this. I wish they offered a chicken-free version. Unfortunately I’ll have to switch her, but I’ll still recommend this to others.

Me vet recommended this dog food as my dog was overweight. I have fed him this dog food for 3 weeks now and I can already see a loss of weight. I am going to take him to get weighed to see where he is at after 2 months of use.

It works!

Our Blaze always drops a couple of pounds when we switch his diet to FAT DOGS. Going from 31 pounds to 28 pounds is a big deal!

Good price for “specialty” food.

Hank has pancreatitis and has no more tummy troubles since eating this kibble. He thinks it is yummy as well!

The food smells great which my dog loves

Our picky Puggle loves this food it’s lower in carbs than a lot of dry foods and she actually EATS it! Glad we finally found low carb food she will eat.
