Maintaining a healthy weight in dogs is essential for long-term everyday health and well-being. Clinical studies have found that up to 65% of dogs have obesity or are above their ideal weight. Excess weight can have adverse effects on health and welfare by increasing the risk of diseases, causing functional impairment, shortening lifespan, and reducing overall quality of life. Factors that can influence a dog’s body weight include food intake, activity level, neuter status, gender, metabolism, and genetics. Increased weight in dogs is a complex issue, but having an appropriately formulated diet can be part of the solution to help dog owners manage a healthy body weight for their dogs.

Harry's Peptide+ Weight Control & Joint Care Dog Food
Weight Control Fish peptides have been demonstrated to highly stimulate the secretion of appetite-suppressive molecules such as the peptide hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) from duodenal I-cells and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) from intestinal cells. Short-term this induces a decrease in food intake by increasing the feeling of satiety, and can lead to a decrease in body weight gain. Therefore, in the long term this may decrease adipose tissue by reducing overall food intake.
Joint health Collagen is essential for bone health. It provides the protein matrix (‘scaffolding’) on which calcification (bone mineralisation) can occur. Bone collagen undergoes continual breakdown, repair and renewal, so providing nourishment through dietary collagen or collagen peptides is important to help maintain lifelong, strong, healthy bones.
