Funny, I've just been talking about this very subject to my co-worker---Tiger is overweight (prob 17 lb), and I want to start a new food routine whereby they all have 45 mins mealtimes twice a day (and no 24/7 dry food). The others don't overeat.
Probably pure fantasy on my part, of course. They are all--pos & neg--addicted to Wellness dry. However....I think I'll try switching to EVO.

That said, I do keep dry out for my cats 24/7 too. Like Jenn, I use Innova's EVO, it's the best I've found, (no grains, minimal veggies), and helps me feel less guilty about not working hard enough to wean my dry food junkies.
