The present invention provides a system for providing a health benefit to a companion animal comprising: a maintenance pet food comprising fat, protein, and carbohydrates, where the maintenance pet food can be complete and balanced and has a density ranging from 400 g/l to 600 g/l； and a reduced caloric pet food comprising fat, protein, and carbohydrates, where the reduced caloric pet food can be complete and balanced and has a density ranging from 300 g/l to 450 g/l. Generally, the reduced caloric pet food can have a caloric content of 50% to 90% of the maintenance pet food in about the same volume and the reduced caloric pet food can have a density of 70% to 85% of the maintenance pet food.
