VETS ARE SAYING
Eukanuba has recently launched a specially formulated diet to help overweight pets. According to the American Animal Hospital Association 2000 "Pet Owner Survey," veterinarians estimated that 44% of their patients are overweight. In a society where food is equated with love, this presents a dilemma for someone who loves their dog. They want to see their pet enjoy its food, but don't want to jeopardize its health by contributing to a body condition that can lead to serious medical problems.
In dogs, as well as humans, obesity has been linked to diabetes, arthritis and heart disease. Although fat is a necessary nutrient for a dog, it contains over twice as many calories per unit as the other available sources of energy that a pet needs, so fat reduction in the diet is critical.
Eukanuba Weight Loss formula is a complete and balanced diet that uses the latest nutritional technology to help a dog lose weight without feeling constantly hungry.
Eukanuba Weight Loss:
- Contains 43% less fat that Eukanuba Adult Maintenance for weight loss.
- Contains nutrients such as L-Carnitine and vitamin A. These nutrients can, at proper levels, assist fat metabolism and help preserve lean muscle during weight loss, an important component of healthy weight loss.
- Contains scientifically blended carbohydrates which can help nutritionally manage appetite by maintaining normal blood sugar levels.
We recommend working closely with your veterinarian to manage your dog's weight loss. After your dog reaches ideal weight, transition it to Eukanuba Weight Control for Small, Medium or Large Breed Dogs for its everyday food. Eukanuba Weight Loss is not intended to replace a veterinarian prescribed therapeutic diet.

You should divide the total recommended feeding amount by the number of times you feed your dog per day to get the actual portion size per feeding.
