Which dogs is AliVet "Low Fat Diet" suitable for?

These diet menus have been specially developed for dogs that are overweight or obese. They help to reduce weight, metabolise fat and maintain muscle mass, while at the same time reducing the energy content of meals.

Which ingredients make the diet menus particularly effective?

The menus contain high-quality meat and natural additives such as chia seeds, low-calorie vegetables and fruit as well as artichoke leaves, yarrow and pineapple. These ingredients provide optimum support for healthy weight loss.

The diet menus serve a therapeutic function and they should always be used in accordance with the vet’s guidance.

AliVet LOW FAT DIET

The overall energy content of all LOW FAT DIET menus is reduced by decreasing the amount of meat, and therefore fat, and increasing the amount of low-calorie vegetables and fruit. This also increases the fibre content, which is known to have a beneficial effect on lowering blood triglyceride levels. Pineapple contains enzymes known to increase fat metabolism and fat burning. The high quality, food-grade muscle meat provides valuable protein to help counteract the unwanted loss of muscle mass during dieting. In addition, lupin protein and chia seeds provide high levels of essential amino acids, particularly lysine. High-calorie, hard-to-digest grains are avoided. The addition of artichoke leaves is thought to stimulate the metabolism, which can effectively aid the breakdown of fat deposits. Yarrow contains bitter substances that may stimulate bile production. The added L-carnitine improves the metabolism of fatty acids. While a simple reduction in the normal diet can often lead to deficiency symptoms, Alimentum Veterinarium LOW FAT DIET with its balanced content of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, ensures that the dog has a complete nutritional supply.

The term obesity comes from the Latin word 'adeps' (= fat). It describes an excess of more than twenty percent of the ideal weight. In this condition, the animal's ribs can no longer be clearly felt and the flank no longer shows the typical indentation. In highly industrialised countries, almost 40% of all dogs are severely overweight, making obesity the most common condition in German small animal practices. Long-term obesity damages the animal's entire musculoskeletal system. It also increases the risk of high blood pressure, metabolic disorders and heart and organ disease. Obesity can pave the way for osteoarthritis, arthritis, tendon and ligament damage. Obesity is caused by a combination of too much food and too little exercise. In addition, an inappropriate diet high in cereals, starches and sugars promotes the development of obesity. In addition to treating any accompanying diseases, the main treatment for obesity is a sensible change in diet - always combined with a long-term increase in exercise (2-3 hours per day) for the animal.
