The aim of any weight loss regimen in pets is to get rid of the extra pounds with fewer calorie intake and increase in physical activity to burn calories. There are special diets which are formulated to help pets lose weight. One is a high-fiber, low-calorie density formula that provide less calories per gram of food consumed. This prevents extensive restriction of food intake, thus pets won’t beg. The second type of prescription diet uses feed ingredients that can help accelerate metabolism which means calories are burned faster. The formula is highly palatable and in some cases, the manufacturer of the product guarantees a targeted weight loss if the animal is placed on the diet exclusively. Prescription diets are not available in pet stores. Only a veterinarian can dispense them. The ones that you can buy in pet stores are technically termed ‘light’ diets or store-shelf weight control food. These diets are great for preventing obesity as well as maintaining weight loss.
Consult with your veterinarian Portland, OR before making any changes to your pet’s diet.
