If you are currently feeding an all-kibble Life’s Abundance diet and wish to include our premium Instinctive Choice canned food in your cat’s routine, use the chart below to help you calculate appropriate portions based on target calorie intake.
For example: If you are currently feeding your 12 pound cat 1/2 c. of kibble per day and would like to add one can of Pork & Duck daily …
243 calories from 1/2 cup kibble - 98 calories from one can Pork & Duck = 145 calories
So, you will need to adjust the kibble portion down to 145 calories which is slightly less than 1/3 cup (1/3 cup = 162 calories).
