F-Plan dog food is a brand new complete weight control food for dogs. It has been specifically formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of the overweight or less active breed of dog.
The British Veterinary Association estimate that 30-50% of all pets within the UK are clinically overweight, and according to one source, around 25-30% of dogs suffer from obesity, or are at a high risk of becoming obese.
Being overweight is very unhealthy for dogs and can cause a number of problems including:
- Stress on their major organs.
- Musculoskeletal problems- such as arthritis- because the extra weight adds stress to the joints and can damage the cartilage matrix.
- Diabetes.
- Difficulties in breathing, walking and exercising.
