“…Other researchers observed that insulin resistant obese dogs keep their glucose concentrations inside reference range [14]. The lower measurements of glucose observed in the present experiment in obese dogs were expected due to the higher stimulus of insulin in obese than in control animals, since serum basal insulin levels were higher in insulin-resistant dogs than in other groups, which agrees with data reported in dogs [15] and other species [10,16,17]. It is difficult to access insulin sensitivity in clientowned animals, as the ones that composed the present study.…”

Obesity is arguably the biggest health and welfare issue affecting pet dogs. Although successful weight loss has health benefits, current strategies are far from ideal. Many obese dogs that start a weight programme fail to lose weight, or subsequently regain the weight they have lost. Given that current weight loss strategies are not perfect, clinicians need to focus carefully on tailoring the programme, perhaps setting a pragmatic target for weight loss, so as to ensure the benefits are maximised. This review will summarise key findings from recent clinical research into pet obesity, and present a framework for improving success, by better tailoring weight management regimens and end points to the individual.

“…For diet, both the degree of energy restriction and the composition of an optimal weight loss diet are topics of current interest. Starting points for caloric restriction vary (Laflamme and Kuhlman 1995;Burkholder and Bauer 1998;Kealy et al 2002;Blanchard et al 2004). If current intake can be obtained or estimated, then a 20% restriction from that has been suggested (Burkholder and Bauer 1998).…”

Background: Risk of nutrient deficiency in dogs during caloric restriction is not currently known, while obesity is a growing concern. Objectives: To determine nutrients that might require further evaluation for the risk of deficiency during caloric restriction. Animals and methods: Five commercially available canine diets, representing a range of caloric density (2900-4240 kcal/kg metabolizable energy), were assessed for potential nutrient inadequacy if fed to a hypothetical overweight dog. Caloric density and typical nutrient analysis for protein, amino acids, fat, fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins were obtained from the manufacturer. Nutrient intake was calculated using ideal body weight for caloric intakes including 87, 79, 70, 61 and 52 kcal/kg 0.75 and compared with National Research Council recommended nutrient allowances (NRC-RA) for ideal weight. Results: No diets were less than NRC-RA when compared to NRC-RA (/1000 kcal). The five evaluated diets varied in terms of which nutrients were less than NRC-RA and the degree of restriction required for this to occur. All diets had at least one essential nutrient less than NRC-RA at 79 kcal/kg 0.75 /day and multiple nutrients less than NRC-RA at 70 kcal/kg 0.75 /day. Choline and selenium were the nutrients most often affected by caloric restriction but others were less than the NRC-RA with caloric restriction. Conclusions: Further research is needed to determine actual nutrient requirements in overweight dogs, and whether clinical nutrient deficiencies actually arise in vivo. Clinical importance: Weight loss plans for overweight dogs (particularly those with very low-energy requirements) should include consideration for nutrient adequacy.
