Purina Pro plan Veterinary Diets Canine OM Obesity Management A complete veterinary diet clinically proven to be effective for weight loss in obese dogs. Dogs kept fit and trim can live up to two years longer than overweight dogs*, which is why PPVD OM is low in fat and calories whilst being high in protein to encourage steady and effective weight loss while maintaining muscle mass. Made with high levels of natural fibre and protein to help your dog feel full and satisfied, it is also highly palatable to make losing weight easier. Once ideal weight is reached your dog can continue to be fed PPVD OM to help maintain dog's ideal weight. PPVD OM is also suitable for overweight diabetic dogs as its complex, low GI carbohydrates, natural fibre and high protein levels help to control glucose (sugar) levels in the blood. Note that PPVD OM is not recommended for dogs that need a higher calorie intake such as pregnant bitches or growing puppies. * Purina study.
