Pro Plan Veterinary Diets OM Obesity Dry Dog Food - 3kg
Manufacturer's View
PURINA VETERINARY DIETS OM is a complete veterinary diet clinically proven to be effective for weight loss in obese dogs. Dogs kept fit and trim can live up to two years longer than overweight dogs*, which is why PVD OM is low in fat and calories whilst being high in protein to encourage steady and effective weight loss while maintaining muscle mass. Made with high levels of natural fibre and protein to help your dog feel full and satisfied, it is also highly palatable to make losing weight easier. Once ideal weight is reached your dog can continue to be fed PVD OM to help maintain dog's ideal weight. PVD OM is also suitable for diabetic dogs as its complex, low GI carbohydrates, natural fibre and high protein levels help to control glucose (sugar) levels in the blood.
Note that PVD OM is not recommended for dogs that need a higher calorie intake such as pregnant bitches or growing puppies. * Purina study.
- High protein to help promote loss of body fat while maintaining lean muscles during weight loss.
- Low calorie: reduced levels of fat to help reduce the number of calories consumed.
- Glucose control: high in complex carbohydrates and fibre to help even out blood sugar levels throughout the day, reducing hunger pangs and helping your dog feel fuller for longer.
