Formulated to help keep your pet at their ideal weight, Animal Necessity's Weight Guard Vet™ contains 11 naturally occurring herbs, antioxidants, and amino acids that can help support your efforts to keep them fit and healthy. Stabilizing blood sugar, suppressing the urge to overeat, increasing metabolic rates, and helping block the absorption of excess carbohydrates and fats are all important mechanisms to help maintain a healthy weight.
A reduced caloric diet, regular exercise patterns, and dietary supplementation can contribute to:
Everyone wants to ensure their pet stays as healthy and active as possible. Proper weight management is essential to optimize both quality and duration of life.
If your pet needs to lose weight, gradual weight loss is very important and should be monitored with the help of your veterinarian. As a general rule, overweight pets should not lose more than 2% of their body weight per week. For example, a 15 lb cat should not lose more than 5 ounces/week (15 lbs x 16 oz/lb = 240 oz. 240 x 0.02 = 4.8 oz, rounded up to 5 ounces). Keep in mind that as time passes, the weight goal changes as the weight is lost. For example, at the beginning of the second week our cat now weighs 15 lbs - 5 oz = 235 oz, so our weight goal this week is losing 2% of 235 oz. Rapid weight loss is associated with increased hunger, reduced metabolism (thereby making weight loss more difficult), and unhealthy loss of muscle tissue when broken down to provide glucose, instead of the preferred(or desired) breakdown of body fat. For guidelines on safe weight loss for dogs and cats, see the weight loss tools at www.petobesityprevention.org.

The first 2 weeks of Schooner being on Weight Guard he lost 2 lbs. Schooner went to the vet today after being on for 4 weeks. He lost another 4oz. It is working. Schooner has cut down on being a counter surfer and getting into the trash. We ordered our 2nd bottle of Weight Guard to help Schooner lose weight. I will be giving up to date weight lost on Schooner so you can see how Weight Guard is working for Schooner. If your dog is over weight try Weight Guard. You also need to exercise your dog and keep them active. We are hoping for spring to come soon.
