Weight management diets are calorie-restricted formulas designed to help overweight dogs lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. They typically have higher fiber content to promote satiety and lower fat levels.
These are general guidelines for the Weight Management diet. Always adjust portions based on your dog's individual weight, activity level, and life stage. Consult your vet before making significant changes to your dog's diet.
