How can I help
my pet lose weight?
Weight problems are common in dogs and cats
and can be successfully managed through a weight
management programme that includes dietary changes.
Feed the healthy pet inside
Do you know how much your pet “should” weigh
to be healthier, happier and more active? Ask your
veterinarian — because feeding to your pet’s IDEAL
weight rather than their CURRENT weight makes a
big difference in weight loss success.
For weight loss to occur, pets must consume 30% or
fewer calories than the amount required to maintain
their ideal body weight. Following your veterinarian’s
feeding plan based on an accurate estimate of ideal
body weight will ensure you don’t overfeed.
The importance of knowing
your pet’s ideal weight
Common concerns
Q: “My pet still begs for food, what should I do?”
A: Begging is a pet’s conditioned response to
receiving food and simply wanting more — it doesn’t
necessarily mean your pet is hungry. It’s important
to resist feeding anything that isn’t part of your pet’s
new weight management programme. Reward your
pet with attention, petting or playtime instead.
Just like humans, every pet has an ideal weight unique to
their individual size and body composition. Knowing this
healthy weight target is the first step in any successful
weight loss programme.
Your Veterinarian can help determine an ideal body
weight and develop a customised feeding plan for your
pet. These will help your pet successfully lose weight.
Q: “Is this a starvation diet? How do I know my pet
is getting enough to eat?”
Helpful tips
Obesity has a negative impact on a pet’s life
Overweight pets live shorter lives than healthy weight
pets, and pets who are just a few kilos overweight — as
little as 20% — have an increased risk of developing
serious diseases such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, and
cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.1
Keys to staying on track
• Work with your veterinary healthcare team to
establish your pet’s target weight, set goals, and
monitor and record your pet’s weight regularly
• Feed only at designated feeding times throughout
the day; control when and how much your pet eats
• Schedule frequent veterinary visits for weigh-ins to
monitor your pet’s progress
• Say no to unhealthy snacks, especially table scraps
A: Not at all. All Hill’s Prescription Diet™ weight
management brand pet foods provide the complete
and balanced nutrition your pet needs. They’re also
formulated to help your pet feel more full after each
meal. If you follow your veterinarians recommended
feeding amounts and schedule, you can be confident
you’re providing all the nutrition your pet needs.
