"We tried diet food before and he was always hungry. Paws Source's plan kept him full, and he's playing fetch like he's 3 again. His vet is thrilled with his bloodwork."

Common Questions
Weight Management FAQ
How fast should my pet lose weight?
+
Safe weight loss is typically 1-2% of body weight per week. Faster loss can cause muscle wasting, hepatic lipidosis (in cats), or metabolic slowdown. Our vets monitor progress to ensure lean mass is preserved.
Is this suitable for senior pets?
+
Absolutely. Senior pets often need weight management more than younger ones to reduce joint strain and manage chronic conditions. We adjust caloric needs and add joint/digestive support accordingly.
What if my pet has food allergies or medical conditions?
+
Our nutritionists formulate hypoallergenic and therapeutic protocols. If your pet has diabetes, Cushing's, or thyroid issues, we coordinate closely with your vet to align weight loss with medical treatment.
Do I need to stop all treats?
+
Not necessarily. We allocate a safe treat budget (usually 5-10% of daily calories) and provide low-calorie training alternatives so you can maintain positive reinforcement without derailing progress.
