| Overweight dog? Some diets help, and some don't. Here's what you should be feeding...
|

Weight Loss
In general, a good goal to aim for is 1-2% of the body weight per week. In practice I would typically calculate 15% weight loss, and aim for that in 3-4 months.?
Rapid weight loss can lead to rapid weight return, liver disease, and in some cases even hepatic lipidosis.
I have always had the best results on elevated protein diets, which include at least 50% canned, raw food.
Cut out the treats, especially the high carbohydrate ones, commit to exercising your dog twice daily for at least 30 minutes, and feed only the measured amount of food based on your dog’s weight
Colostrum. Colostrum has been shown to help with weight loss by increasing muscle mass. The increased muscle leads to increased metabolism, and loss of fat. Increasing numbers of athletes are using colostrum; it is a safe nutrient to consider adding to your overweight pet’s diet.
Probiotics. These are the healthy bacteria which colonize your intestinal tract, and researchers are finding they are increasingly important for health, and that they may help with weight loss in people and pets. Daily supplements with the probiotic Lactobacillus gasseri SBT2055 may help weight loss in people with obese tendencies, according to new research. The study extends previous findings … which showed LG2055 may reduce fat levels (adiposity) and fat cells in animals”.
Coenzyme Q10 is essential for energy production at the cellular level. It has been shown to benefit humans with various heart and muscle diseases. Again, studies of its effect on obese animals are currently underway. It has been shown to be safe, with no adverse effects demonstrated in animal studies according to Nutramax, a company which produces Coenzyme Q10 in an oral form for dogs, cats, and horses.

Sky and Curly are our beloved rescues from Marbella, Spain.
Curly came home five years ago after five months in the shelter.
Sky spent three years in the shelter before he came home with us one and a half year ago.
They both love to play in the snow and to have a home and a family.

| Dog and Cat Words of Wisdom...
“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day.
It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.”
― John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog
