Weight loss for dogs isn’t as simple as cutting down their portion sizes. To make sure your dog is losing weight the healthy way, you need a complete and balanced weight control dog food with low energy density, like Dog Weight Loss & Diabetes W1. It:

FAQ

Dog Weight Loss & Diabetes W1 is a weight loss dog food for overweight dogs. In trials, it has been shown to help overweight dogs lose 2.2% of their body weight per week.

It’s also supports:

  • Regulating blood sugar in diabetic dogs, but only those who are obese (for diabetic dogs already at a healthy weight, try HPM Adult dog food instead).
  • Managing fibre-responsive colitis.
  • Managing lipid metabolism disorders (hyperlipidaemia).

Dog Weight Loss & Diabetes W1 is not suitable for puppies, pregnant/lactating dogs, and dogs with chronic kidney disease.

Dogs are naturally carnivores and need to eat an abundance of high-quality animal proteins for optimal health. VETERINARY HPM® Weight Loss & Diabetes W1 is formulated to meet these needs with 34% protein (94% animal origin) and 23% carbohydrates. The high-protein/low-carbohydrate balance is ideal for preserving lean muscle mass, achieving a healthy weight, and supporting your dog's digestion.

Congrats! Now that your dog has reached a healthy weight, you can help them stay there by switching to Veterinary HPM's Adult dog food, either small & toy breed or large & medium breed variant, depending on your dog's breed. With more energy per portion, this food is ideal for stabilising your dog's weight.
