Help overweight dogs to lose weight

Weight gain?

Help overweight dogs to lose weight efficiently, when used with a calorie controlled diet. If your dog’s calorie intake is greater than the amount they need for their life stage and lifestyle, the excess calories will be stored as fat. In short, too much food and too little exercise will lead to an overweight dog.

• Correct feeding during a puppy’s growth period is important. Over feeding may increase the number of fat cells that a puppy’s body produces, resulting in an increased likelihood of being overweight throughout life.
• If you are using treats for training then you will need to reduce your dog’s daily feed allowance. Stop feeding larger meal portions or more treats to counteract feelings of guilt, i.e. when leaving pets on their own for extended periods of time.
• Regular exercise is of paramount important. The energy requirements of dogs will change with their stage of life and level of activity.
• Neutered dogs can run a greater risk of being obese compared to un-neutered dogs, as neutering causes changes in hormonal levels and behaviour. Modifying the diet of a neutered dog can help manage their weight.
• The feeding guidelines on your dog food packaging should tell you all you need to know, but if you are in any doubt how much to feed your dog then please contact us
