For a successful outcome of a slimming diet, it is essential that the owner is motivated and gives the dog only SPECIFIC®CRD-1 Weight Reduction.
To prevent obesity, we recommend reducing the daily feed allowance as these “low-fat high-fiber” Treats are given.For most diets suitable for dogs with diabetes mellitus, it is recommended that the daily portion be divided into two meals. The timing of meals will normally be determined by the individual patient's insulin activity.Due to the increased amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber, this diet supports good gastrointestinal motility and promotes good bowel function. The low fat content also makes this diet suitable for the regulation of fat metabolism in cases of hyperlipidaemia and cholestasis.Since SPECIFIC® CRD-1 Weight Reduction is generally given in limited amounts, the mineral and fat-soluble vitamin content is slightly increased.Once the dog has reached his ideal body weight, it is recommended that weight be controlled by starting to giveSPECIFIC® CRD-2 Weight Control.
For owners who like to “spoil” their dog occasionally, it is recommended to use SPECIFIC® CRW-1 Weight Reduction for this purpose.Owners of dogs with obesity or diabetes mellitus who wish to reward or pamper their dog can do so withthe SPECIFIC CT-H(M) Healthy Treats (Mini).
