Weight Management That Works

Take Control of Your Dog's Weight - And Add Years to Their Life

You may not realize it, but one extra pound on a dog is not equal to one extra pound on a human. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP), each pound of weight gained on a dog is equivalent to 5 to 7 pounds on a person.

A dog is considered overweight if it's 10-20% over its ideal body weight, and obese if it's 21% or more over. Recent studies show that nearly 60% of dogs in the US are overweight or obese, making weight management one of the most important health challenges pet parents and vets face today.

Your dog is at their best when they are at a healthy weight, and we make it easy to achieve.

The Challenge

In the United States, obesity is the single most preventable threat to canine health.  Despite loving owners' best intentions, traditional feeding methods often fall short. This isn't surprising - managing a dog's weight is complex. 

  • Confusing portion guidelines
  • Complex calorie calculations
  • Irresistible "puppy eyes" leading to overfeeding
  • Changing activity levels that affect calorie needs
  • Treat management
  • Lack of awareness by owners that their dog has an unhealthy weight
  • Reluctance of vets to tell the owner that their dog has an unhealthy weight, and/or the difficulty of having weight conversations with your vet
  • Incomplete diets

The Science

Scientific consensus is clear: carrying excess weight has been shown to reduce your dog's lifespan by up to two years. Extra pounds increase the risk of joint damage, diabetes, and chronic pain – affecting both quality and length of life.
