Feed your pet a highly nutritious, low-fat, high-bulk diet that provides about two-thirds of the calories needed to maintain your animal’s ideal weight. While they are low in fat, choose diets that are high in protein, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. They need to also include plenty of bran or vegetables to help fill your pet’s stomach and minimise begging and food stealing. This helps them to lose weight gradually and safely, while insuring sufficient basic nutrients. Include a daily vitamin-mineral pet supplement that the veterinarian may recommend. These are available in pet supply outlets and in natural food stores, online and offline.
