How your dog's weight goes up and down
Weight follows the balance between the energy your dog eats and the energy he uses.
Energy in
- MealsCalories per cup differ a lot from food to food.
- Treats and table scrapsSmall extras add up over a week.
Energy out
- WalksTwo shorter walks a day are easier to keep up.
- PlayA few minutes of fetch or a sniffing game counts too.
What helps the plan stick
- Weigh meals on a kitchen scale instead of using a scoop.
- Count treats as part of the day's food, and swap some for green beans.
Source: general veterinary weight guidance, such as the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention's advice to measure every meal and count treats.

What stands behind every box
Questions owners ask
Does it replace the diet plan?
No. It supports healthy weight management alongside measured meals and daily exercise, and those stay at the center of the plan.
Should my vet check anything first?
Yes. Ask your vet to rule out a medical cause, such as a thyroid problem, and to set a target weight.
Is there anything in it my dog should avoid?
It contains chitosan, a shellfish derivative, so don't give it to dogs sensitive to shellfish.
How do I give it to a dog on a diet?
Stir it into the measured meal, or mix it with a little water into a gravy.
