Product details
If you've got a large or giant dog, feeding them this Eukanuba adult weight control large breed food can help them stay at a healthy weight.
How it works
This recipe contains a mix of vitamins and minerals that are essential for larger dogs. Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids help keep their coat and skin healthy, while prebiotics are included to help with digestion. They also promote better natural defences for your pet too.
The food contains much less fat that standard meals might. 30% less fat means your pooch will put on much less weight even if they eat the same amount, so they can stay in great shape without changing their appetite. Added fibre also helps them feel fuller for longer.
The DentalCare system in the recipe promotes healthy teeth and gums.
Key benefits
- DentalCare system for healthy teeth and gums
- added fibre helps your pet feel fuller for longer
- 30% less fat
- added calcium for strong teeth and bones
- prebiotics for easier digestion and immune system health.
When to use it
Large dogs can easily get overweight, as they have larger appetites. That said, it's easy to remedy if you catch the problem early. If your pet seems to be a bit lethargic, or less willing to walk and play than usual, try feeling around their belly. If you can't feel their ribs, they might be a little overweight.
Changing their diet to this food can be a good option, because it contains much less fat. Additionally, the fibre content means your dog will feel more satisfied and full up for longer before they want to eat again. It's a good idea to always consult your vet before making any large changes to their diet.

Feeding The Correct Amount
It is important to remember however that these figures are guidelines only, and there are several factors to be taken into account when assessing your pet's nutritional requirements : -
- Activity level
- Temperament (stressed animals burn off more calories than relaxed ones)
- Metabolism (every animal is an individual with his or her own speed of metabolism; this means that 2 dogs of the same age, breed and weight could have different daily calorie requirements)
In order to provide the correct portions when feeding your dog or cat, it is also helpful to assess your pet's appetite, visual appearance and stools. Whilst poo watching does not sound particularly pleasant, it is one of the best indicators of health. Increased frequency of passing faeces, production of large quantities of stools of loose motions are often frequent signs that an animal is receiving more food than he or she requires.
It is important to obtain an accurate weight for your cat or dog, and also to weigh out the food. Guessing on both accounts gives a large margin of error.
Changing Food Brands
For a successful diet change, we recommend following the feeding pattern below. The daily feeding amount should be split into two equal amounts and the proportions of new food increased over the first week as illustrated.
TOP TIPS: For those dogs who do not make eating a priority, here are some additional points:
- Reduce the number of tit-bits given during the introductory period
- If your dog has been used to eating wet food, moisten with warm water.
