Specially formulated for less active or overweight dogs, Wellness Super5Mix Weight Management formula is a satisfying, low-calorie blend of ingredients to help inactive dogs maintain a healthy body weight and to help overweight dogs lose weight. This unique blend provides complete nutrition and satisfies the appetite with increased fiber, reduced fat and fewer calories than our Super5Mix Chicken Formula.
The Wellness Super5Mix Weight Management formula uses USDA chicken as our most plentiful ingredient because it is a delicious, digestible protein source. As required by the USDA, the chicken used in Wellness Super5Mix Weight Management formula is free of added growth hormones and steroids. Along with exercise, our the Wellness Super5Mix Weight Management formula can help dogs reach their ideal weight with reduced calories, reduced fat and increased fiber - compared to Wellness Super5Mix Chicken. In fact, Wellness Super5Mix Weight Management formula has 50% less fat than their adult Chicken and Lamb formulas. Increased fiber comes from wholesome sources, like oats and barley, full of vitamins and minerals. They don't use inexpensive, nutrition-less fillers like cellulose or peanut hulls. In addition to containing fewer calories than fat, protein or carbohydrates, fiber helps overweight dogs feel full. Overweight dogs are at higher risk for arthritis and hip and elbow dysplasia. These conditions cause the dogs to suffer increased pain which causes a greatly reduced quality of life. To help aid in the prevention and treatment of these conditions, they add guaranteed amounts of Glucosamine HCL and Chondroitin Sulfate to Wellness Super5Mix Weight Management formula. Research suggests that both nutrients help replenish cartilage in overburdened joints. Their unique blend of fruits and vegetables represents a full rainbow of powerful antioxidants. In addition, they add extra amounts of the antioxidant vitamins C and E. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals to keep cells healthy. This is especially important in overweight dogs whose systems are overburdened and stressed. Omega 6 and Omega 3 play a vital role in supporting healthy skin and a glossy full coat. Low fat diets run the risk of providing less than optimal amounts of the essential fatty acids (including Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids) unless high quality fat sources are used. For this reason they don't used rendered animal fats but rather canola oil, flaxseed and real chicken.
