Veterinary diets are formulated for the nutritional support of dogs with specific clinical conditions and are recommended to be used under veterinary advice.Royal Canin Weight & Osteo is formulated for the nutritional management of adult dogs that are prone to being overweight, or to osteo-articular problems. The high protein level helps to maintain high palatability, leading to a satiating effect. This in turn helps to maintain the dog’s muscle mass compared to regular low-calorie diets. For an equal level of metabolisable energy, protein provides 30% less net energy than carbohydrates. Garcinia cambodgia extracts and conjugated linoleic acid help reduce the conversion of sugar into fat and accumulation of these fats in adipocytes. L-carnitine promotes the transportation of fat to the mitochondria. Chondroitin inhibits enzymatic action on chondrocytes and hydrates cartilage. Glucosamine stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid. The synergistic antioxidant complex (vitamins E and C, taurine and lutein) helps neutralise free radicals. The fatty acids EPA/DHA also promote joint health. Protein digestibility is increased by selecting protein that is highly digestible in the intestine (wheat gluten, poultry protein isolute), thus decreasing the amount of protein entering the colon by 20-40%.
