Obesity is a real disease and is the most prevalent form of malnutrition in dogs. Excessive deposition of body fat has detrimental effects on health and longevity. Obesity is associated with a median lifespan reduction of 2 years and with several pathological conditions that severely decrease the quality of life. Obesity determines a chronic, low-grade inflammation that affects multiple body systems. Obesity also leads to an increase in oxidative stress. The consequences of prolonged inflammation and oxidative stress have been associated with cancer, diabetes, urinary tract disease, heart disease and liver disease. Obesity is also associated with dyslipidemia (high triglycerides and cholesterol). Furthermore, obese dogs have an increased prevalence of traumatic and degenerative orthopedic disorders. Moreover, the severity of osteoarthritis is greater in overweight dogs. Other health problems exacerbated by obesity include dyspnea, dermatologic problems, and reduced immune function.
The Dogalicious Weight Loss Diet is specifically designed for dogs who are overweight and obese in order to allow for weight loss and prevention of weight regain:
- Low energy density, to allow your dog to still have a decent volume of food but receiving fewer calories;
- High protein content to ensure that, despite the calorie restriction, your dog’s amino acids requirement will be fulfilled entirely; in this way, your dog will lose fat mass, while preserving the lean muscle mass;
- Moderate fat content, to avoid any extra calories, but still maintaining significant content of linoleic acid, essential in adult dogs;
- High fiber content, driven by the psyllium and the vegetables inclusion, to give your dog a sense of satiety despite the calorie restriction;
- Potatoes and sweet potatoes as carbohydrates sources, with no-rice and no-grains, in order to avoid the higher postprandial insulin response they are associated with;
- High content of antioxidant to fight the chronic oxidative stress associated with obesity. Broccoli, sweet potatoes and green beans included to apport vitamin C; sunflower oil, spinach and supplement included to increase vitamin E.
- Spirulina included to benefit from its hypolipidemic and anti-inflammatory effects, since obese dogs suffer from hyperlipidemia and chronic inflammatory status.
- A formulation designed to help your dog burn fat fast and, if the diet is followed properly, allow for a controlled weight loss of 1% the initial body weight per week.
