    *The diet must be prescribed in accordance with the ideal weight and not the real weight of the dog. The energy allocation level (40 - 100% of maintenance energy requirement or MER) varies according to the degree of obesity and the response of the dog (see preceding chapter).

    **Dividing of the daily amount into two or three meals is recommended to increase expenditure related due to postprandial thermogenesis.

    Key Points

    • Reduce the fat content to restrict the energy density
    • Increase the protein content to favor the maintenance of muscle mass
    • Increase the fiber content to encourage satiety
