Rising dog obesity rates are a major concern. Achieve safe, sustained dog weight loss.
Why is it important to reduce dog obesity?
Dog obesity negatively impacts dogs and their caregivers: obese dogs experience pain [1] and may be less interactive and responsive with their people, limiting the human-animal bond [2-3].
Findings from a 3-month non-randomized controlled study*
Greater, safe cumulative weight change
90% of all participating dogs lost weight.
Mean cumulative weight change as percentage of initial weight was 279% higher among the experiment cohort compared to the control.
Larger, safe reduction in body condition score
% of all participating dogs decreased in body condition score.
Change in dog waist circumference (cm) was approximately 515% higher among experiment cohort participants compared to the control.
Caregivers found approaches very convenient
Among experiment cohort dog owners/caregivers, 62% rated approaches as “Extremely convenient.”
The remaining 38% rated approaches as “Very convenient.”
