Gentle Paws Design Studio can help. Perhaps the awareness of the benefits of fiber in human diets has prompted pet owners to ask about its benefits in pet foods. Fiber is the portion of carbohydrate in a diet that is difficult for the digestive system to break down and use. Despite its limited digestibility, fiber does have benefits for our pets.
Fiber helps address the concern about the prevalence of obesity in pets.
It is important in special diets designed for weight reduction or weight management. Fiber helps reduce caloric intake and provides pets a satisfied feeling of fullness when being fed fewer calories. However, high-fiber diets alone will not ensure weight loss. Strict portion control is also necessary for a successful weight loss program. Work with your veterinarian to plan a weight reduction program for your pudgy pet.
