Provided is a weight-control pet food that is used for the purpose of controlling body weight while diminishing loss of muscle mass that has a water content of less than (25)% and that has with respect to the total mass of the pet food a protein content of (20) mass % or more in terms of dry matter and an isolated soybean protein content of (5)-(30) mass % in terms of dry matter.

Described herein are pet food compositions comprising—in relevant part—effective amounts of betaine and carnitine. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described.

A pet kibble containing from about 20 to 35 wt. % total protein, from about 10 to 15 wt. % edible fat, and from about 10 to 15 wt. % edible fiber. About 70 to 100 wt. % of the protein is plant-sourced. About 3 to 10 wt. % of edible fat is a combination of omega-6 and omega-3 oils. The pet kibble is essentially free of gluten, milk products, peanuts, tree nuts and wheat. The pet kibble is made by an extrusion process that includes flash baking the extrudate, wherein the flash baking is done at from about 450 to 525° F. for from about 30 to 50 seconds.
