FAQs
Can I feed this to my puppy?
No, this product is specifically formulated for adult dogs and is not suitable for puppies.
How long should my dog stay on this diet?
The duration depends on your dog's specific weight-loss goals. Always follow the timeline provided by your veterinarian.
Do I need a prescription for this food?
Yes, this is a veterinary-exclusive diet and should be used under the supervision of a veterinarian.
Can I mix this with dry food?
Consult your veterinarian regarding mixed-feeding, as adding other foods will alter the caloric density of the meal plan.
Why is this diet high in protein?
High protein is essential during weight loss to ensure the dog loses fat rather than lean muscle mass.
Is this product safe for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
The formula is designed for weight management, but you should discuss your dog's specific gastrointestinal history with your vet before transitioning.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the mousse
Ensure the product is served at room temperature rather than straight from the refrigerator; try mixing a small amount with warm water.
Weight loss has plateaued
Consult your veterinarian to re-evaluate the caloric requirements, as activity levels or metabolism may have changed during the process.
Dog seems hungry between meals
Ensure you are not feeding extra treats outside of the prescribed diet, as these can easily exceed the strict daily calorie allowance.
