Purina Pro Plan Opti Weight Light/Sterilised Adult Dry Dog Food - Chicken
Product details
Purina Pro Plan Dog All Sizes Adult Light or Sterilised with Optiweight rich in Chicken dry food helps dogs maintain a healthy weight.
How it works
Designed by Purina's vets and nutritionists, this food can assist weight loss in overweight dogs and help dogs prone to weight gain (e.g. sterilised pets) maintain a healthy size.
The recipe is low in fat and high in protein, helping your dog to maintain lean muscle mass throughout a diet. The use of dietary fibre and complex carbohydrates keeps your dog feeling fuller for longer after eating. The food also contains Purina's Optiweight formula: a blend of vitamins, minerals and trace elements that ensure your dog is getting the nutrients they need. The formula promotes calorie burning and keeps joints healthy to make exercising easy. High-quality pieces of chicken are used for extra flavour, making meal times even more appealing.

When to use it
Weight gain in dogs can lead to obesity ' a condition that can put stress on your pet's joints, shorten their lifespan and reduce their enjoyment of exercise and play. If you notice your dog gaining weight it's important to restrict their calorie intake before the problem becomes serious.The best way to find out if your dog is overweight is to take them to the vet for weighing and a body fat analysis. There are some quick tests you can do at home, too. The first is to look at them from above: their waist should be defined. Next, stroke them gently along their sides. You should be able to feel their ribs underneath a thin layer of fat. If your dog has no visible waist and you can't feel their ribs, they're overweight.
Although the main causes of weight gain in pets are too much food and not enough exercise, it can also be a symptom of deeper problems including hyperthyroidism, pancreatic cancer, and Cushing's disease. It's important to visit your vet to rule these out before starting your pet on a calorie-controlled diet.

Fantastic food that my dog absolutely loves!!My dog struggled to lose excess pounds regardless what we fed her, plus she’s extremely fussy, largely as she is unable/unwilling to eat large pieces of dried food (even though she has it soaked in water!!) this product has small pieces ideal for her needs. The instructions include a chart telling you how much to feed to enable weight loss or maintain current weight. The pieces are very small and she literally threw herself into eating with gusto!A happier, healthier and more content dog is just perfect so I would 100% recommend this food.

Dog enjoys it!My dog absolutely loved this food, she was so keen for her meals everyday!! It was a good texture and the size was good for her breed and she certainly liked the taste. It's great that she can enjoy food even though it's a lower calorie food.

El Mutto Loves ItExcellent packaging clearly explaining feeding instructions based on dog size as well as some of science behind the health and weight maintenance benefits. We like the bulk size which is good for us with a large dog as the smaller bags are often not cost effective. The packaging is not resealable which is a shame but we decant into a food box for easier daily serving so not a showstopper. El Mutto can be a little fussy as she’s a rescue that was sadly mistreated but is gaining confidence but she doesn’t eat what she doesn’t like. She’s loving this and even though she’s on a little bit of a diet as she still needs to get down to a more healthy weight she’s not begging for food or searching out food so this seems to be satisfying her diet wise. Bowl is thoroughly cleaned and she seems very happy with this food - no complaints from El Mutto.
