Directions for Use

Less Active Adult Dogs: This formula is clinically formulated for adult dogs of 1 to 6 years that require fewer calories due to a less active lifestyle, neutered status, or an otherwise increased tendency toward weight gain. (

Two Feeding Modes: This formula provides separate portion guidance for weight loss and weight management. Use the weight loss column to actively reduce body weight and the weight management column to maintain the dog’s target weight once it has been achieved.

7-Day Transition: A phased dietary transition over 7 days minimizes gastrointestinal disruption when introducing this formula to your dog.

Fresh Water: Continuous access to fresh water is essential to support healthy hydration and organ function in adult dogs throughout the day.

Adjust Portions: Daily feeding amounts must be regularly reassessed and adjusted to consistently maintain the dog’s optimal body weight throughout the weight management program.

Vet Checkups: Regular veterinary checkups are recommended to monitor the dog’s weight progress and reassess daily portions as nutritional needs evolve with age.

Disclaimer: This dosage information is provided by the manufacturer. Always consult your veterinarian before administering or adjusting any supplement for your pet.
