Key Features & Benefits

• Effective Weight Loss and Control:
  • Low Energy Density: The calorie content is specifically adjusted to achieve targeted weight loss, ensuring your dog loses weight healthily by consuming fewer calories.
  • High Protein (34%) and High Fiber: High protein content helps preserve muscle mass during weight loss. High fiber content provides a feeling of fullness, supporting your dog in feeling satiated for longer and preventing overeating. This combination promotes healthy fat loss.
• Diabetes Management Support:
  • Low Net Carbohydrate Content and Low Glycemic Index: Features a low carbohydrate content that helps minimize sudden fluctuations in blood glucose levels, leading to better control of diabetes. The low glycemic index contributes to reducing post-prandial glycemia (blood sugar spikes after meals).
  • High Chromium Content: Chromium is a trace mineral that can help improve insulin sensitivity, providing additional support in diabetes management.
• High Digestibility: Formulated with carefully selected, highly digestible ingredients to optimize nutrient absorption and minimize digestive discomfort.
• Joint Health Support: Joint problems are common in overweight dogs. The food may contain nutrients to help support joint health (refer to the product label for detailed information).
• High Palatability and Acceptability: Designed to be highly palatable, considering that diabetes or weight loss diets can be long-term. This enhances dietary compliance.
• Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Despite being a specialized diet, it is complete and balanced to meet all your dog's essential nutritional needs, so additional supplements are generally not required.
