I tend not to follow what the bags or cans say. A general rule is 20-30 calories per lb of ideal weight. So if you want Nero to weigh 10 lbs, that's around 200-300 calories per day. A 5.5 oz can of Wellness is roughly 200 calories depending on the flavour, so you could start with a can a day (no kibble) and adjust from there. You don't want weight loss to be too rapid (no more than 1-2% per week), so ideally you have access to a baby scale or else drop by the vets periodically to weigh Nero.
