This is quality food but my dog didnt seem to like it that much. The avocado (main nutrient source) smell is fairly strong which might put off picky eaters.

Pros: My greyhounds LOVE this food. They obviously enjoy the taste because they eat it entirely at every meal. The benefits I've seen include improved coat (my female had bare-butt when we got her, now she has a bare spot the size of a quarter...my male has hair growing in scars which were hairless before), no more dandruff and there is less waste to pick up. Overall a great product!
Cons: I am really disappointed the 30 pound bags are not more available right now. The additional cost of the 15 pound bags forced me to purchase another food for now and until availability is back to normal.

EVO Dog Reduced Fat - The Ancestral Diet Meets Modern Nutrition
Reduced Fat - The EVO line of pet foods have been specially designed to provide all the key nutritional benefits received from the feeding of raw food diets but with the benefits of 21st Century nutritional research. EVO Reduced Fat Dry Dog Food contains 30% less fat than regular EVO Dog Food but with 20% MORE protein. Recent studies have shown that high protein, low fat diets help to build lean body mass while still achieving weight loss (weight loss occurs until an equilibrium of muscle to fat is reached).
EVO Dog Reduced Fat is Grain-Free, Human Grade Dog Food
Although EVO Dog food provides 100% of the total nutritional needs of your dog, you still need to pay proper attention to these important factors to ensure optimum health:
Our Basset has some kind of food allergy we are trying to narrow down. Certain foods upset her bodies balance and cause excess ear drainage & build up. We've tried Science Diet ZD, Wellness Core Reduced Fat & this one. So far this is the only one that seems to be a little more agreeable with her. It would have been rated 5 stars, but it causes her & our other Basset slight constipation & excessive gas.

When to feed CORE:
Perfect for everyday feeding, mixing with raw, supplementing raw or replacing raw while traveling.
Who Should Eat CORE:
The nutrient levels of this food are appropriate for adult dogs over 1 year. We do not recommend feeding this formula to puppies as they have special nutritional requirements during their growth stage. Please try our Wellness Puppy Food to meet these unique needs.
How to Feed CORE:
CORE is highly palatable, so your dog may tend to eat more of this food.
Watch initially to see if you need to adjust regular eating patterns. Please give your dog access to clean, cool fresh water at all times.
It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes awhile for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness CORE each day, so that you are feeding 100% new food by day 7.

Transitioning to Wellness: It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness by day 7.
Determining Feeding Portions: Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Wellness believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your dog's diet.
Nutrition is only one part of the equation! Be sure to give your dog plenty of love, plenty of exercise and see your veterinarian regularly to help ensure total wellness.
Recommended Feeding Portions (Based on a standard 8 oz dry measuring cup)

Combination Feeding If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/3 cup for every 6 oz of wet food.
I've only been feeding it to my miniature Schnauzer for a short while, so I don't know how it will do long-term. She eats it, but acts like she is still hungry. Runs to my little toy dog's bowl to see if there's anything left! (No luck--the little one scarfs it all down....) I wish this formula had more protein and less grain. The food she was eating before I put her on this one had 28% protein, so I wonder if she's getting enough now with just 17%.

Helps to keep that extra weight off for weight loss or maintaining weight. I used this product to replace Hills Prescription Diet R/D. Premium Food worth the price.
