Obesity Programme
OBESITY MANAGEMENT is a complete dietetic food for dogs formulated to reduce excessbody weight. This food has a low energy level.
Feeding duration:
Individual target weight is determined depending on individual pet and breed.The recommended daily intake is based on the pet's target weight and takes into account the pet's sex and amount overweight. The optimal weight loss is 1 to 3% weekly.
Once the target weight is reached, feeding Weight Control Canine or Weight & Osteo Canine is recommended to maintain an optimal weight
Energy density reduced by 50-70% whilst maintaining volume compared to a standard wet diet
A high protein content (>110g/1000 kcal DM) helps reduce loss of muscle mass by 30%
This diet is enriched with minerals and vitamins to compensate for the restricted energy intake and to ensure an appropriate supply of nutrients
Chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine help to maintain normal mobility in the highly stressed joints of obese pets.
Further information:
Water highly dilutes energy density of the food and the volume gives a satiating effect. Example for a 10 kg dog:
Recommended daily quantities (g/day):
Water should be available at all times
