Weight Loss Program for Dogs: For Both Owner and Pet

What we know about pet nutrition is a constantly evolving field. Today’s topic: weight loss programs for dogs—for both the owner and the pet. This is a much more complex issue than it appears. We’re evaluating it based on findings from the scientific literature over the past 12 months.

Background of the Issue

From a practical perspective, the background of the issue is applied as follows: First, clearly assess the current situation. Then define your goals (short- and long-term). Third, identify the expert support available to you (local veterinarian, trainer, consultant). Access to these resources varies from city to city in Turkey; Wuffi’s “Get Services” page provides easy access to them. By following these steps, you’ll see consistent results.
