As we mentioned, switching to a weight loss formula will not instantly solve all your dog’s dietary problems. Several of the most common mistakes include:
Feeding your dog too much food in general – when your dog's servings are too large, he will still be at risk of consuming too many calories compared to his recommended daily intake. The feeding suggestions on your dog's kibble bag should be taken as a rough guide only — it's always a good idea to use a dog food calculator to get a better idea of his recommended energy intake.
Not exercising your dog enough – regardless of how healthy your dog’s food is, your pet will always need sufficient activity to stay in top form. Try to find out how much exercise is recommended for your dog’s breed and his life stage, then get active together!
