What Should I Feed my Overweight Dog?
 
Dogs and weight loss: Euk Before putting your dog on a weight loss program, it is always a good idea to consult with a veterinarian. Weight control is accomplished by maintaining the required dietary nutrients while reducing caloric intake to the level necessary for metabolic energy demands. This is done by feeding recommended portions at least twice a day and weighing your dog on a regular basis to monitor weight loss. Because dogs have different activity levels, it may be necessary to adjust the amount fed several times. Keep in mind that it will take a lot longer for a 15kg dog to lose 0.5kg than it would a 100kg person. Keep things in perspective and be patient. Eukanuba Light®, available for Dogs of different breed sizes is recommended for overweight adult dogs.
