Dog Weight Loss

Is your dog overweight? Did you have a dog that used to be overweight and has slimmed down? Join our Facebook group to discuss your dogs weight and share your tips, photos, stories and successes.

If your dog is overweight, you're not alone! 50% of dogs are overweight. Some owners don't realize their dogs are overweight... they just think that they are cuddly! Some owners know their dogs are overweight but are not sure what to do. Some owners do know what to do and have had some success at shifting their pooch's pounds.

The dog weight loss page is dedicated to helping get our 4 legged friends back into shape. Click the link below, 'like' the page, and don't forget to share with friends:

Staffordshire Bull Terrier With Arthritis

This is Megan, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier with osteoarthritis in her back legs.

At the age of ten years Megan has always been fit so it was really sad for her owner Moira to see her in pain and slowed down. The vet prescribed the anti-inflammatory metacam but Moira was told there are side effects if Megan remained on it for too long. Moira noticed it took the pain away but, was worried about Megan being on it long term.

She then found Pooch & Mutt and read about Mobile Bones and sent off immediately. Megan has now been having two daily teaspoons for a month, and half the dose of Metacam. The change in her is absolutely amazing.

Elderly lab x collie

This is Jake, an elderly lab x collie.

Jake's owner Sue got him from Wood Green Animal Shelter in Godmanchester in 2000, he will be 16 around June this year. 

He was really feeling down, not interested in walks and not at all happy.  Sue was looking around the internet and found Pooch & Mutt and Mobile Bones for the elderly dog. She sent away for a sample pack and gave it to Jake, and she is amazed at how he has changed!

Rescue Dog With Diarrhoea

This is Chadwick, a rescue dog with diarrhoea.

Chadwick's owner Linda says Bionic Biotic has changed his life.

Linda got Chadwick from the Border Collie Trust, he had had to live on the streets and scavenge what he could to exist. A month after he came to live with her he had a violent bout of diarrhoea , the vet’s bill was enormous as samples had to be sent to the lab for analysis. He seemed healthy enough but did not gain any weight, the vet said he could do with gaining 3kilos, also his faeces were not normal. He kept having recurrent bouts of diarrhoea.

Weimaraner with scurf in coat and upset stomach

This is Dargo, an extremely fit, young weimaraner dog who has been raised on BARF. Althought he has a beautiful coat, he began to suffer from some scurf in his coat & the occasional, very slight stomach upset.

His owner Julie has had this breed for the last 32 years, showing & working them, she has tried many products over the years but has never witnessed great improvements in the claimed areas of such products.

She started her dog on Bionic Biotic in order to compliment the BARF ethos; combat those two problems listed above.

Within a few weeks she saw a vast improvement in coat with the scurf disappearing completely with the probiotics seeming to aid his digestion too.
