Purina Veterinary Diets: overweight

Purina Canine OM (Overweight management) is one of the vet recommended formulas we can deliver to your doorstep. It is a science based Purina Veterinary Diets formula engineered to help your dog lose excess weight and live a longer, healthier life. Scientists now believe that there is a connection to longevity and eating less. They believe that if we began feeding our dogs and cats less they, too, would enjoy healthier, longer lives.

Most pets are overweight because they eat more and exercise less than they should. To lose weight your canine companion will need your help. Following the advice of your veterinarian and using the Purina Veterinary Diets overweight management formula is a great start! Next, you'll want to take a look at your pet's current lifestyle and begin to increase activity levels right away. If you are looking for other brands of prescription pet food we also carry Royal Canin pet food, Eukanuba, Hill's and more.

When it comes to cutting out extra calories for your pet, you'll want to look at how many treats and snacks you are feeding them. If you are using treats for training, don't forget to include them in your pet's total input for the day. The IVD pet food formula that is part of the veterinary diet program is a low fat formula that not only helps dogs that are overweight. The low fat food helps dogs with chronic diarrhea and pancreatic disease, as well. It is low in fiber, so it is easier to digest, even for puppies.

Remember, if your pet is overweight it will take a commitment from you to help your pet, starting with a veterinary recommended IVD pet food and daily exercise. Besides...those extra walks won't just be helping your dog feel better and live longer. You'll be helping yourself, too.
