Purina O/M
Clinical Consideration
The role of dietary management in canine obesity is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the specialty dietary needs of your pet. Dietary fats contribute more than twice the available energy compared to the carbohydrates and protein. A low fat diet can be helpful in controlling calorie intake. Dietary crude fiber is poorly digested and helps reduce the amount of available calories and may contribute to safety. Feeding a properly formulated diet designed to be restricted in calories and high in fiber may be beneficial in the management of obesity while meeting the nutritional needs of the animal.
