Maintaining a healthy weight in dogs is essential for long-term everyday health and well-being. Excess weight can have adverse effects on health and welfare by increasing the risk of diseases, causing functional impairment, shortening lifespan, and reducing overall quality of life.
Increased weight in dogs is a complex issue, but having an appropriately formulated diet can be part of the solution to help dog owners manage a healthy body weight for their dogs.
Faelan Support+ Weight Control provides a balanced diet which offers a food that is both nutritionally excellent and specifically formulated to help control and loose weight of your dog.
This is achieved through the use of fish peptides have been demonstrated to highly stimulate the secretion of appetite-suppressive molecules such as the peptide hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) from duodenal I-cells and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) from intestinal cells. Short-term this induces a decrease in food intake by increasing the feeling of satiety, and can lead to a decrease in body weight gain. Therefore, in the
long term this may decrease adipose tissue by reducing overall food intake.
Additionally, Collagen peptides can improve signs of canine osteoarthritis
and provide an excellent source of building blocks for
cartilage tissue, important for mechanical functionality.
