- Is this the same as a prescription weight-loss diet?
- No. It is an over-the-counter weight-management food. Dogs with medical conditions or major weight loss goals should follow a vet's plan.
- How much should I feed my dog?
- Follow the bag's feeding chart based on your dog's target weight, not current weight, and measure with a scale or cup. Adjust with your vet as weight changes.
- How do I switch my dog to this food?
- Mix it with the old food over about a week, increasing the new food each day. A slow transition reduces stomach upset.
- Is it suitable for puppies or pregnant dogs?
- No. It is formulated for adult dogs. Puppies, pregnant and nursing dogs need more calorie-dense food.
- Does it help with joint problems too?
- Only indirectly. Weight loss reduces strain on joints, but this food does not contain added joint supplements.
