FAQs
Can I feed this to my puppy?
No, this formula is specifically for adult dogs and is not suitable for growth or reproduction.
How long should I keep my dog on this diet?
It should be used until the target weight is reached. It can then be continued for weight maintenance, but always under the guidance of a veterinarian.
Is this food appropriate for a diabetic dog?
Yes, it is suitable for overweight diabetic dogs because the complex carbohydrates and high fiber help control blood glucose levels.
Do I need a prescription to purchase this?
Yes, this is a veterinary diet and should be used under the supervision of your veterinarian.
Why is the protein content so high in a weight loss food?
High protein levels are essential during weight loss to ensure the dog loses fat tissue while preserving lean muscle mass.
Troubleshooting
Dog is refusing to eat the new food
Gradually transition the dog over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts of OM into their previous diet.
Stool consistency changes during transition
Ensure the transition is done slowly. If issues persist, contact your veterinarian as the high fiber content may require a more gradual adjustment for sensitive stomachs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your dog on OM Obesity Management, consult your veterinarian to establish a target weight and daily calorie allowance based on your dog's specific medical history. This is a veterinary-exclusive diet; therefore, it should only be fed according to the specific guidance provided by your pet's healthcare provider. For glucose regulation, the initial recommended feeding period is up to six months. Always store the bag in a cool, dry place to maintain ingredient freshness and prevent moisture buildup, which can impact the efficacy of the fiber content.
