Thanks to a composition studied down to the smallest detail, this product helps maintain lean muscle mass, while supporting the metabolism and promoting satiety in the dog.

Thanks to a controlled energy density and a calibrated presence of carbohydrates, Aptima Pro Weight supports gradual and safe weight loss without reducing the animal's vitality.

The 5.04 kg package guarantees a prolonged shelf life, making it ideal for those who want food that is easy to store and always ready for use. With Aptima Pro Weight, every meal becomes an opportunity to promote the health, fitness and general well-being of your adult dog.

Therapeutic Indications

Aptima Pro Weight 5.04KG is specially recommended for the nutritional treatment of adult dogs that are overweight, prone to obesity or conditions that require careful management of body weight. The moderate caloric intake favors the reduction of fat mass over time, without compromising the animal's protein needs, necessary to preserve toned and functional muscles during dietary management. The product is also suitable for animals that live in urban contexts and lead a less active life, where weight management becomes essential to prevent pathologies related to being overweight such as diabetes, joint problems, heart fatigue and decreased life expectancy.

Aptima Pro Weight can be introduced into a controlled food plan, also to support veterinary therapies for dogs that experience movement difficulties, early fatigue or exertional dyspnoea following excess weight. It is highly recommended as part of an integrated program that also includes increased physical activity, regular monitoring of weight and body composition, and strict control of the daily portions administered. This food is also ideal as continuous support after a controlled weight loss program, helping the dog to maintain its ideal weight and prevent relapses into being overweight.

Its use must be evaluated together with a veterinarian, especially in the case of pre-existing clinical conditions, intolerances or metabolic pathologies. The integration of Aptima Pro Weight into everyday life not only allows for greater weight control, but also offers support for the animal's general well-being, improving its overall quality of life and reducing the main risk factors linked to the accumulation of body fat.

Composition

Main ingredients: Aptima Pro Weight 5.04KG is formulated from a mixture of white and red meats with high biological value, combined with brown rice, barley, and other cereals with high digestible properties. The presence of a reduced intake of fat, combined with a high-protein quota of animal origin, guarantees the availability of all the essential amino acids necessary for muscle health and good metabolic functioning. Natural fibres, derived from ingredients such as beet pulp and peas, help regulate digestive function and prolong the dog's sense of satiety, moderating calorie intake throughout the day.

The recipe also includes the integration of salmon oil, a natural source of omega 3, and ground flax seeds, which support the well-being of the skin and the shine of the coat. To complete the formulation, Aptima Pro Weight contains plant extracts with antioxidant action, vitamins (A, D3, E, C and group B) and balanced minerals - including zinc, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus - which cooperate in maintaining high efficiency of the immune system and supporting the natural vitality of the animal. The composition contains no added colourants, artificial flavors or preservatives, guaranteeing maximum tolerability and healthiness of the daily meal, even for sensitive dogs.

The balance between macro and micronutrients has been carefully studied to offer a complete, balanced and palatable daily diet, perfectly meeting the needs of adult dogs of all breeds and sizes subject to overweight.

Contraindications

Although it is indicated for the majority of adult dogs with weight control needs, Aptima Pro Weight 5.04KG is not recommended for puppies, pregnant or lactating females, nor for subjects in clinical conditions that require a specific dietary regime other than weight management. In particular, it is not suitable in case of diagnosis of advanced kidney disease, severe liver disease, or other conditions that require reduced protein levels or strict control of specific minerals such as phosphorus and sodium.

Prolonged use is also not recommended in underweight animals or with particularly high energy needs, for which the caloric and protein support provided by the product may not be sufficient. In the presence of metabolic pathologies, such as diabetes mellitus, the supervision of a veterinary doctor is necessary who evaluates the compatibility of Aptima Pro Weight with the animal's clinical conditions on a case-by-case basis. Animals that show signs of intolerance or adverse reactions to the ingredients contained should immediately stop consuming the product and contact a veterinarian to identify alternatives more suitable for their state of health.

The product must not be administered to dogs with known sensitivity to one or more ingredients present in the composition, to avoid the risk of allergic reactions or digestive disorders. In case of doubts or suspicious symptoms, a timely veterinary evaluation is always recommended.

Safety of the drug for the species

The use of Aptima Pro Weight 5.04KG is safe for the canine species when used according to indications and within a weight management program shared with the veterinarian. The chosen ingredients are selected to ensure maximum digestibility and tolerability, avoiding irritants, potentially harmful additives or substances contraindicated for the dog. The formulation does not involve the use of pharmacological substances, but focuses entirely on nutritional intake and the balance of proteins, fats and fibre. Precisely the absence of drugs or synthetic chemical compounds enormously reduces the risk of short and long-term side effects. The natural antioxidants present also help to keep the formation of free radicals under control, reducing the effects of chronic inflammation associated with being overweight.

Regular consumption according to dosage favors the maintenance of a good body condition and ensures the metabolic well-being of the animal, without overloading the liver and kidneys. However, it is always necessary to monitor the state of health during the diet, to promptly identify any changes or adverse symptoms not directly attributable to the food, but rather to previous conditions. The safety of use makes the food suitable for all breeds, with particular reference to medium-large sized subjects, often more prone to overweight problems and joint pathologies linked to excess fat mass.

Aptima Pro Weight is subjected to rigorous quality controls throughout the entire production process, thus ensuring compliance with the hygienic-sanitary and nutritional standards required for animal feed. It is important not to administer doses higher than those recommended and not to mix arbitrarily with other foods, in order to avoid dietary imbalances or loss of effectiveness in weight management.

Precautions

The use of Aptima Pro Weight 5.04KG requires some fundamental precautions to guarantee optimal results and effective maintenance of the dog's body weight. Before starting administration, it is advisable to carry out an in-depth veterinary evaluation to determine the ideal weight, general state of health and the possible presence of particular conditions that may require dose adjustments or specific monitoring. During the period of food management with this diet, it is recommended to regularly monitor the animal's weight and body composition, possibly with periodic visits to the vet, so as to adapt the quantity administered to the actual needs and any progress.

It is important to avoid association with other uncontrolled foods, snacks or extra foods that could nullify the beneficial effects of the low-calorie diet: consistency in respecting the dietary plan contributes significantly to success in losing or maintaining weight. If there are multiple animals in the house, separation during meals is recommended, to avoid accidental exchanges of portions and ensure correct intake only by the recipient dog. Any change in stool consistency, apparent discomfort or unusual symptoms should prompt immediate veterinary advice to ensure the diet is well tolerated.

Store the package in a cool, dry place, tightly closed and out of reach of children and animals other than the intended dog. Wash your hands after handling the product. Do not use the product beyond the expiry date shown on the package.

Method of administration

Aptima Pro Weight 5.04KG should be administered exclusively to adult dogs, following the daily dosage instructions provided based on the animal's current body weight and weight loss or maintenance objectives. It is advisable to divide the daily quantity into two distinct meals, in order to facilitate digestion and ensure a prolonged feeling of satiety; this helps prevent ingestion too quickly and the development of compulsive eating behaviors. The croquettes can be administered as is, or slightly moistened with warm water to make them softer and easier to assimilate, especially in elderly subjects or those with delicate teeth.

In the case of a transition from another food, it is preferable to proceed gradually: mix Aptima Pro Weight with the old food in increasing proportions for at least 5-7 days, so as not to overload the gastrointestinal system and minimize the risk of digestive disorders or food refusal. Always follow the doses indicated by the vet and do not exceed the recommended ration, to avoid metabolic imbalances or nutritional deficiencies. Any association with other nutritional plans or supplements must be discussed in advance with the relevant professional.

Ensure constant availability of fresh, clean water, an essential element to support physiological metabolic functions during a slimming or maintenance diet.

Treatment program

The treatment program with Aptima Pro Weight 5.04KG must be personalized together with the veterinarian, who will establish the duration, timing and monitoring criteria best suited to the specific situation of the dog. In cases of mild overweight, an initial period of at least 8-12 weeks can allow for gradual weight loss, quantified at between 1 and 2% of body weight per week. In subjects with high risk or severe obesity, use can be prolonged until the desired weight is achieved, integrating the program with controlled physical activity and frequent veterinary checks.

During the program, it is essential to maintain a constant attitude in the administration of portions: any deviation from the plan can slow down or undermine the success of the objective. Once the ideal weight has been reached, the professional can suggest a maintenance regime based on Aptima Pro Weight, possibly modifying the daily quantities to preserve the new body condition. It is also possible to integrate, according to a veterinary opinion, the product with specific supplements aimed at supporting particular critical issues that emerged during the process (for example, supplements for joint mobility or digestive supports).

Periodically evaluate the dog's nutritional status, vitality and psycho-physical well-being, so as to be able to promptly correct any imbalances. The treatment program must be coherent and free from tears: discipline in daily nutrition is the main success factor in the long-term management of your dog's weight.
