Frequently Asked Questions: 

ABOUT Pet Weight Management

How long will it take to see weight loss results in my pet?
Weight loss or weight management should be gradual—typically 1–2% of your pet’s body weight per week. Depending on how much weight they need to lose, visible results can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
Can I switch my pet to a weight management food on my own?
It’s always best to consult your vet first. They can help confirm whether your pet’s weight gain is due to overfeeding, health issues, or lack of activity—and recommend the right food and plan.
What if my pet refuses to eat their weight management food?
Try gradually transitioning by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with their old food over 7–10 days. If they still refuse, check with your vet—there may be other suitable options.

How do I know if my pet is overweight?
Signs include difficulty feeling their ribs, a lack of a visible waistline, reduced energy, and heavy breathing after minimal activity. Your vet can also assess their body condition score (BCS).

Are weight management foods suitable for all pets?
No. Weight management formulas are designed for pets who are overweight or prone to weight gain. Puppies, kittens, pregnant or underweight pets should be on different diets.

How much should I feed my pet on a weight management diet?
Follow the feeding guidelines on the packaging as a starting point, but adjust based on your vet’s recommendations and your pet’s specific needs and activity level.

Can treats still be part of a weight management plan?
Yes—if they’re limited and factored into your pet’s total daily calorie intake. Opt for low-calorie treats or use their kibble as rewards during training.

Is weight gain always caused by overeating?
Not always. Medical conditions like hypothyroidism (in dogs) or hormonal imbalances can contribute. That’s why it’s important to rule out underlying issues with your vet first.
