Where is the cheapest place to buy the light range??

I dunno :(
but me personally I would never feed this to my dogs :(

I wouldnt feed it either,it is chock full of garbage!And the light version is even WORSE,please do some research and you will be able to find dozens of better foods than science diet.I do not belive in "lite" diets,they are just another gimmick by pet food companies to make them even more money?The best way for your dog to lose weight is by feeding plenty of fresh foods including vegetables and plenty of excercise.
Maybe you can post again and elaborate on your question,i dont know anyone here who would reccomend science diet.

Ground maize, chicken and turkey meal(minimum Chicken 24%; minimum Chicken and Turkey combined 33%), soybean mill run, ground wheat, cellulose, digest, vegetable oil, dried whole egg, flaxseed, potassium chloride, L-carnitine supplement, vitamin E supplement, salt, choline chloride, dicalcium phosphate, L-lysine hydrochloride, L-tryptophan, glucosamine hydrochloride, vitamin C supplement, calcium carbonate, ferrous sulphate, zinc oxide, mixed tocopherols, chondroitin sulphate niacin, thiamin, vitamin A supplement, copper sulphate, beta-carotene supplement, citric acid, calcium pantothenate, manganous oxide, pyridoxine hydrochloride, rosemary extract, riboflavin, vitamin D3 supplement, calcium iodate, folic acid, sodium selenite, biotin, vitamin B12.

There is no need to feed a "lite" diet to overweight dogs; just feed less; the same principle works with dogs as it does with humans, horses etc.

This diet is mainly maize (incomplete protein and tryptophan deficient, hence extra is added), in fact this diet is 67% grain; soybean is contra indicated for dogs as it binds nutrients to make them unavailable to the dog, is a major gas producer and is a potential thyroid inhibitor.  Cellulose - this is a filler which could be grass, paper etc, salt is certainly not healthy for a dog.

IMHO you would be better off feeding less of a higher quality food and supplementing with plenty of pulped veggies and fruit.

The anti oxidants contained in this food are from a synthetic source not natural and can be better provided for my buying OTC natural Vitamins ACE

L-carnitine is a natural amino acid available in complete proteins; it has to be added to this diet as it is heavily grain based.

Glucosamine and CS supplements may be bought OTC and there is no indication of the source(marine or bovine) and in better ratios.

Not sure how much you are paying for this food but I would not pay good money for "cellulose"!

ok then whats the best food to feed a dog that needs to go on a diet she needs to lose 8kgs. she is really well excerised just cant lose the weight.

Feed something nutritious such as Naturediet (vacuum packed wet dog food made from just meat, bone, rice and carrots or Burns dry food made from meat, rice and vegetables.  Both have websites and Burns have someone who will advise you on nutrition.

If your dog appears to be hungry then feed her raw vegetables which will fill her up but not be fattening eg raw swedes, turnips, carrots, apples, etc

You could also keep her occupied by filling a kong with something like frozen live yoghurt which takes time to consume and is very healthy.

Just feed good food, but less of it and of course up the exercise; you are doing your dog a favour and relieving her joints from stress and her heart from overwork.

Some folk think that the contents of a bag of food is a "magic bullet" for everything that ails their pet! I find it very hard to believe that one can feed a balanced diet just by feeding one product it does not make sense! Variety is the key to good health,by all means feed  a commercial food,say for breakfast but feed a meal of fresh wholesome foods for dinner such as meat,veggies and a raw meaty bone for dessert :D This is the best of both worlds for the die hard commercial feeders and especially for their deserving dogs who i'm sure would appreciate a change from the usual bowl of cereal ;)
