No. I said that because NB does definitely have more calories than low quality kibbles, more fats & more protein. It "sticks" to a dog much more and a dog uses a lot more of those calories from meat than it would from a kibble that is based on useless fillers. Just be sure you adjust his kibble appropriately - if he seems to be filling out, just reduce the amount you feed a bit. It's not totally loaded with calories, but it does have more calories & quality than a poor quality food.
