Designed for dogs prone to obesity or recovering from overfeeding.
Focus on fiber, lean protein, and controlled portions. Plus keeping your dog at an optimal weight makes your vet trips wayyy less expensive.

Meal Framework:

  • Base: Low-calorie kibble or boiled chicken
  • Add: Steamed veggies (green beans, spinach)
  • Avoid: Treats >10% of total daily calories

Sample Day:

MealIngredientsPortion
BreakfastChicken + Pumpkin½ cup
SnackCarrot sticks3–4 pieces
DinnerKibble + Broth1 cup
EveningPlain yogurt1 tbsp

🪶 Tip: Use a slow feeder bowl or lick mat to prevent fast eating. Small meals given multiple times throughout the day help the body switch. This helps burn off the excess fat in your dog’s body.
