Innova switch to Evo

If I already posted this I apologize. I think I started but didn't finish

Anyway, for those of you that feed Evo, if you switched from another premium food did you decrease the amount of food, and by how much would you recommend?

I just looked at calories and fed the quantity of Evo needed to meet that same calorie level as a starting point. For example 3/4 cup Evo is = to 1 cup of Healthwise adult chicken

I switched to EVO about a month ago from Canidae. I fed about 2½-3 cups a day of dry mixed with canned. I am now feeding about 2-2½ cups a day of EVO mixed with canned. Not a huge reduction, but some.

The results have been dramatic since the change over. Their coats were already very good, but they have gotten even better. Super shiny, brighter eyes, more energy. I'm quite pleased with the results.

the amount difference is more dramatic when going from a low cal food to Evo. I know when I switched from Proplan to Anmar (the food Natura had before they changed it into Healthwise) I went from feeding one large male 8 cups a day to feeding 5 cups a day. Then going from Anmar to Healthwise he went from 5 cups a day to 4 cups a day

My sister's Dalmation was eating 6 cups a day of pedigree and could not keep weight. He's been eating Healthwise now awhile and he now eats 3 cups a day and is a great weight

Veg (9 years) was on 3 cups total of Innova Adult, and Mook (5 monthes) on 2.25 cups. I would think that Mook's might stay around the same, to compensate for growth, but when I switched Veg from grocery store food to Innova, he really beefed up. Since Evo is even more dense, I'm more concerned about his weight change than Mook's.

What is the the most anyone feeds of Evo, and the age and weight of the dog eating it?
