A dog that is overweight should not be put on light food, because the feed change brings some risks.
Light food often contains indigestible proteins from plant sources, which do not bring any real added value to the dog. Even an overweight dog needs meat and high-quality nutrients in its feed, such as amino acids and fatty acids for its healthy metabolism.
However, these rich substances are missing in many dog food diets. Many products try to use artificial vitamins and trace elements in a makeshift fashion. As a result, a dull coat, possible skin problems and metabolic disorders can be the result of malnutrition. The ideal solution is to have punctual meals, no snacks in between and a regular exercise.
We recommend a high-quality wet food compared to dry food. Wet food will provide nutritional value to the animal and can easily be measured to ensure optimal feed amounts. Also, with the added water content, the dog feels they are eating more with wet food than they would with dry food.
