Obesity in dogs is primarily caused by excessive calorie intake and too little exercise. Health problems such as osteoarthritis, cardiovascular stress, diabetes mellitus and the formation of urinary stones are more severe. Special dog food with a low calorie and fat content as well as a high protein and fibre content helps weight loss and ensures long-lasting satiety of your dog.

Nowadays, almost one dog in two is overweight. In dogs, obesity is associated with over 20 diseases. It is therefore important to maintain a healthy weight to minimise the risk of certain diseases over the long term. Special diets for overweight dogs are well-balanced, tasty reduction diets that provide your dog with sufficient nutrition while reducing the calorie content. They contain less energy, which is to say, fewer calories than standard dog food, but have a balance of all important nutrients, vitamins and minerals, as well as L-carnitine and nutrients that support joint health.
