Description
ROYAL CANIN? SATIETY IS PRECISELY FORMULATED FOR EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS AND SUPPORTS SUCCESSFUL LONG TERM WEIGHT MANAGEMENT IN CATS AND DOGS. The key features of this formula are:
EFFECTIVE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT – Provides safe weight loss and helps avoid weight regain. 97% of dogs lost weight in 3 months.
BEGGING CONTROL -?High natural fibre level keeps dogs satisfied between meals. Helps control begging in 83% of dogs during weight loss.
SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED FOR SMALL DOGS – Adapted formula to meet the specific digestive, dental and urinary sensitivities of small dogs.
S/O INDEX – This diet is formulated to promote a healthy urinary environment.
Individual target weight is determined and then feeding amount established. The recommended daily intake is based on the pet?s ideal weight. The starting ration may need to be adjusted during follow-up visits, based on each individual?s response and the rate of weight loss. An objective of losing 1-3% bodyweight per week is generally achievable over the first 3 months, and of 0.5-2% afterwards.
How is the energy allocation for maintenance after weight loss calculated?Energy requirements to maintain stable body weight after weight loss are lower than those of dogs that have never been obese. Based on current scientific insights (German & al. 2011), our maintenance after weight loss rations are calculated by increasing the weight loss ration by +10%.
NOTE: maintenance rations may need to be adjusted based on individual evolution.
