Yes, what you are doing is correct. You should also increase the exercise. There are much better dog foods out there than Science Diet, but this won't hurt your dog.

It depends what kind of breed your dog is.
We have a miniature dachshund and she eats the following brand:

She eats a big can a day...half in the morning and half in the evening.
I chose this product after the recent pet food recall. They have very good food for dogs and it is produced in the USA without any stuff from China in it....check it out.

you need to check with your breeder or the vet for advise.
