Prior to prescribing, individual target weight should be determined. The energy allowance (kcal) per kg target body weight is based on the dog's body condition score (BCS) however this is only an initial indication. The amount of food necessary to induce weight loss can vary between individual dogs. This is why close monitoring by your veterinarian is required to regularly update the food quanitity ration and ensure continued weight loss. It is recommended that a veterinarian's opinion be sought before use or before extending the period of use.

Key Benefits:

* REDUCES HUNGER: A special blend of fibres increases the volume of the stomach contents and promotes satiety by reducing the spontaneous consumption of food.

* HIGH PROTEIN: A high protein content (111g/1000kcalME) helps maintain muscle mass during a weight loss program. It also aids with the feeling of fullness as well as improving palatability.

* NUTRIENTS BALANCE: Enriched with nutrients (in particular, protein, minerals amd vitamins) to compensate for the effect of energy restriction during a weight loss program.

* DENTAL HEALTH: The inclusion of calcium chelation agent sodium polyphosphate helps reduce tartar production and maintain good overall dental health.

* S/O INDEX: Formulated to help prevent particular urinary crystals (struvite & oxalate crystals).
